Traralgon Waterworks Trust

Full description

Establishment
The Traralgon Waterworks Trust was constituted under the provisions of the Water Act 1905 and gazetted 7 May 1907.

Water Reform
Under section 8 of the Water and Sewerage Authorities (Restructuring) Act 1983 (No. 9895) many 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.

Abolition
The Traralgon Water Board, VA 2220 [Order-in-Council 27/09/1983] succeeded the Traralgon Waterworks Trust. The other agency involved in this amalgamation was the Traralgon Sewerage Authority (VA 2039).
