Editing Wyong Shire (section)

==Water supply==
The first centralised water supply system was implemented in Wyong in 1929–1930 when a reservoir was constructed on Chapman Hill and water was pumped to it from the Wyong River, with the northern areas of Wyong Shire covered from the 1950s. In 1965 the Entrance Water Supply Scheme officially opened, which provided water to most of Wyong Shire, which included the [[Mooney Mooney Creek|Mooney Mooney Dam]] (1961), the Mardi Dam and [[Wyong River]] Weir (1962). In 1977 Gosford and Wyong councils agreed to share the costs of operating, building and maintaining water supply throughout the region and the Gosford/Wyong Joint Water Supply Committee was established. The Committee completed construction of the [[Mangrove Creek Dam]] in 1978–1982.<ref>{{cite web |title=Water Management > History |url=http://www.gwcwater.nsw.gov.au/water-management/history/ |publisher=osford City and Wyong Shire Councils |access-date=17 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150331024355/http://www.gwcwater.nsw.gov.au/water-management/history/ |archive-date=31 March 2015}}</ref>

This committee became the Gosford/Wyong Councils' Water Authority in 1998, but was superseded by the Central Coast Water Corporation with the passing of the {{Cite Legislation AU|NSW|act||Central Coast Water Corporation Act 2006}} to create one water supply authority in the region. The eventually came into effect in 2011 when the Gosford/Wyong Councils' Water Authority Board was dissolved and Water Corporation Board was appointed. The Central Coast Water Corporation ceased to exist with the amalgamation of Gosford and Wyong Councils, with the establishment of a business unit within Central Coast Council to manage water supply.<ref>{{cite web |title=Central Coast Water Supply System |url=https://lovewater.centralcoast.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-03/central_coast_water_supply_brochure_-_march_2020.pdf |publisher=Central Coast Council |access-date=17 December 2020 |date=March 2020}}</ref>
