Overview
The dam was completed in 1980 by the New South Wales Department of Works for the Goulburn City Council to augment the water supply. It can store 9,000 megalitres over 1.55 square kilometres collected from a catchment of 142 square kilometres. The dam wall is 25 metres high.
Water is released from the dam down the Wollondilly River where due to issues of loss the water fails to arrive at Rossi weir, upstream from Goulburn. Water is actually pumped to the city's water treatment works from Rossi Weir which is pumped down from Sooley Dam then and distributed to Goulburn's reticulation system for consumption.
