Water Reforms

Under Section 8 of the Water and Sewerage Authorities (Restructuring) Act 1983 (No 9895) Waterworks Trusts and Sewerage Authorities were abolished. Water Boards replaced Waterworks Trusts and Sewerage Authorities, or the functions were transferred to Municipalities.

Further reforms in the 1990's led to the amalgamation of many of the Water Boards created after 1983.

The end date of the Stawell Water Board is subject to research.
