- Abstract
The Kyneton Waterworks Trust (1882) has liquidated practically the whole of its liability in regard to the loans advanced by the government for the construction and improvement of its works. The head-works are situated on the Little Coliban river near Tylden, about 8 miles from the town. The reservoir consists of an earthen bank about 500 ft. long and 40 ft. high with a puddle clay core, about 260 ft. above the town. Its capacity has been raised from 28 mil. to 32 mil. gal. by raising the embankment. The catchment area is about four square miles. There is a service basin of 600,000 gal. capacity two miles from the town.
