Description
The Serpentine Pipehead Dam is a remarkable civil engineering project that supplies water to regions in Western Australia.
It was constructed in the late 1950s and has been in operation since 1957. The dam is made up of 5,000 cubic meters of concrete and 10,000 cubic meters of earth.
In addition to its primary function, the Serpentine Pipehead Dam also has the capability to store water from the Dandalup scheme. This ensures a consistent and reliable water supply to the region.
For those interested in exploring the dam site, there are various attractions to enjoy. Visitors can tour the water treatment plant and take advantage of the picnic area. Nature enthusiasts will also appreciate the dam's location, which is upstream from the stunning Serpentine Falls, approximately 7 km (4.3 mi) away. It's a perfect opportunity to capture some memorable photos.
