Condition

Victoria Reservoir (fmr) is in fair condition. Structurally, the concrete in the dam is of poor quality and has a history of leakage. In 1988 the Water Authority decided that the dam did not have acceptable levels of safety under modern design criteria for flood and earthquake loadings. The concrete in the dam was of such poor quality that the dam could not be adequately rehabilitated. Nevertheless the remains of the dam and its surrounding setting are well maintained.
