Spring Creek Dam (New South Wales)

Spring Creek Dam is a minor embankment dam across the Spring Creek upstream of Orange in the central western region of New South Wales, Australia.

Commenced in December 1929 and completed in 1931, the Spring Creek Dam is a minor dam on the Spring Creek, located approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south-east of the city of Orange;[1] constructed by NSW Department of Public Works on behalf of the Orange City Council as the main water supply for Orange.

At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 4,680 megalitres (165×10^6 cu ft) of water.

[2][3] Recently Orange City Council has strengthened the dam wall.

Kinross Wolaroi School also uses the dam for the sport of rowing.
