It became known as the Tank Stream. By 1811 it dams south of Sydney was hardly fit for drinking. Water was then drawn from wells or carted from a creek running into Rushcutter’s Bay. The Tank Stream was still the main water supply until 1826. In this whole-day tour by car you will see the major dams, canals and pipelines that provide water to Sydney. Some of these works still in use were built around 1880. The round trip tour from Sydney is around 350 km., all on good roads and motorway.

  • History of Sydney Water
    The history of Sydney Water Since the earliest days of European settlement, providing adequate water and sewerage services for Sydney’s population has been a constant challenge. Sydney Water and its predecessor, the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board, has had a rich and colourful history. This history reflects the development and growth of Sydney itself. Over the past 200 years, Sydney’s unreliable rainfall has led to the development of one of the largest per capita water supplies in the world. A truly reliable water supply was not achieved until the early 1960s after constructing Warragamba Dam. By the end of the 20th Century, despite more efficient water use, Sydney once again faced the prospect of a water shortage due to population growth and unreliable rainfall patterns. In response to this, the NSW Government, including Sydney Water, started an ambitious program to secure Sydney’s water supplies. A mix of options has been being used including water from our dams, desalination, wastewater recycling and water efficiency. Timeline 1700s 1788 – 1826 Sydney was chosen as the location for the first European settlement in Australia, in part due to its outstanding harbour and the availability of fresh water from the Tank Stream. The Tank Stream remained Sydney’s main water source for 40 years. However, pollution rapidly became a problem. A painting by J. Skinner Prout of the Tank Stream in the 1840s 1800s 1880 Legislation was passed under Sir Henry Parkes, as Premier, which constitutes the Board of Water Supply and Sewerage. 1826 The Tank Stream was abandoned as a water supply because of pollution from rubbish, sewage and runoff from local businesses like piggeries.

Revised curtilage recommended – refer below Heritage Study 2019 – Extent Heritage Pty Ltd Statement of Significance The Parramatta Road Milestones Group are of local significance for their historic, associative, aesthetic and representative heritage values. The milestones are historically significant in their role of marking the distance of the journey along Parramatta Road from Parramatta to Sydney. They are a tangible reminder of the continuing importance of Parramatta Road as a main highway between Sydney, Parramatta and the West. While some milestones are no longer located in their exact original location, they relate to their original location and mark the significance of Parramatta Road and the construction of roads by the Department of Main Roads. The milestones are associated with the Department of Main Roads in 1934 and their implementation of the "Type D" milestones for use in urban situations. The milestones have aesthetic significance through their notable lettering and form, and their role as a landscape element.
