Yarragon Waterworks Trust

Full description

Establishment
The Yarragon Waterworks Trust was constituted under the provisions of the Water Act and gazetted 9 August 1950.

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 Shire of Narracan Water Board (VA2245) [order-in-council 21/12/1983] succeeded the Yarragon Waterworks Trust. Other agencies involved in this amalgamation were the Thorpdale Waterworks Trust (VA 4131), Yallourn North Sewerage Authority (VA 4134), Trafalgar Waterworks Trust (VA 4132), Erica Waterworks Trust (VA 4123), Shire of Narracan Sewerage Authority (VA 4130) and Yallourn North Waterworks Trust (VA 4135).
