About Hepburns Lagoon
Location
Hepburns Lagoon is located on Langdon's Creek, 33 km north of Ballarat in central-western Victoria.
History
The initial construction of Hepburns Lagoon was completed in 1871. Enlargement of the storage to its current capacity of 3,000 ML was completed in 1960.
Water drawn from Hepburns Lagoon was used to power the historic Anderson's Mill nearby. The storage is regularly referred to as ‘Anderson's Lagoon'.
Operations
Hepburns Lagoon regulates Langdon's Creek flows for irrigation and domestic and stock supplies. Water for urban use is also drawn from the storage.
