Bickley Pumpback Dam
Bickley Pumpback Dam is located in Perth, Western Australia. Bickley is a suburb situated on the Darling Scarp.
Bickley Pumpback Dam is situated approximately 18.5 kilometres (11.5 mi) south east of the Perth central business district.
The dam and site is also used as a campsite for children. The water collected in the dam was at one time pumped back into Victoria Dam where it was treated, then gravitated or pumped into the metropolitan trunk main system for distribution. However the current quality of the water, collected within the reservoir, is considered unsuitable for consumption. As such it is no longer transferred for addition to Perth’s Integrated Water Supply System (IWSS). [1][2][3]
