Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, Water infrastructure engineering landmark in Western Australia, Australia.
The 566-kilometer pipeline network connects Mundaring Weir near Perth to Kalgoorlie, supplying water to over 100,000 residents in the Eastern Goldfields region.
Engineer C.Y. O'Connor completed this water supply infrastructure in 1903 to address the critical water needs during Western Australia's gold mining expansion.
This pipeline system shaped the development of inland settlements and transformed Western Australia's mining communities by providing essential water resources.
The pipeline maintains eight pump stations along its route, with six original steam-powered facilities still standing as operational components of the system.
The American Society of Civil Engineers designated this water system as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark for its technical achievements.
