Statement of Significance

The site represents the importance of water supplies.

History

In 1928 a well was sunk, and in 1929 the area was surveyed for the possibility of using the area as a water catchment from the natural rock formations. It did not proceed at that time. During the mid 1960s a dam was excavated.
