The Blackwattle sewer was one of five mid-19th century systems designed to improve public hygiene by diverting stormwater and sewerage from city streets into the harbour. The discharge was deposited in Blackwattle Swamp, which had been an early source of water for Sydney. It has subsequently been reclaimed as Wentworth Park.LanguageEnglish (eng)Author/creatorCity Engineer and City Surveyor's DepartmentDigitised recordYesBorn digital itemNo
