Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Water was in short supply in Silverton's early days.

Locals relied on household tanks, wells and nearby Umberumberka Creek for a drink. There was never a lot of rain. While a flood in the creek did something to ease the problem in 1884, as did a public standpipe erected in the centre of town, Silverton was always dry place.

These days the reservoir is a standby facility, adding to Broken Hill's main water supply.
