Summary

Stephens Creek Pumping Station, Broken Hill. Nolan's Stephens Creek Water Supply Company, a private enterprise begun in 1889. It was taken over by the Broken Hill Water Supply Company Limited in February 1890, and the first sod of the Stephens Creek reservoir was turned by Sir Henry Parkes in April 1890. The reservoir was completed in 1892 but, within a few years, could not meet the demands of the mines and the township. It was supplemented by the Umberumberka Reservoir which was completed in 1914.
