Candowie Dam

About

The Candowie Dam is an embankment dam across Tennant Creek, located in Almurta, a small settlement approximately 105 kilometres (65 mi) southeast of the Melbourne central business district, in Victoria, Australia. Completed in 1963, the resultant reservoir, the Candowie Reservoir, was established to supply potable water to the area, and is the main source of water for Phillip Island. The dam and reservoir are co-located with a water treatment plant and they are the only dam operated by Westernport Water.
