Cooks River Sewage Aqueduct, Heritage-listed sewage aqueduct in Earlwood, Australia
The Cooks River Sewage Aqueduct features three 1.8-meter diameter pipes supported by decorative brick arches and steel bridges spanning across the watercourse.
Constructed in 1895 by contractor J. F. Carson, the aqueduct formed part of the Main Western Carrier within the Southern and Western Suburbs Ocean Outfall Sewer System.
The structure represents engineering achievements of the 1890s through its combination of wrought iron pipes, brick arches, and steel bridges across the Canterbury-Bankstown region.
Modern improvements between 1981 and 1984 included fiberglass linings for cast iron pipes and reinforced steelwork to maintain operational efficiency.
The aqueduct maintains its original Victorian-era design elements with red-brick accents against white glazed face bricks across its supporting arches.
