The plaque commemorates the completion of the Millstream Scheme of the Bridgetown water supply in June 1962.

The Millstream Catchment Area (Bridgetown) was proclaimed in 1961 under the Country Areas Water Supply Act 1947 (WA). Millstream Dam is located approximately 20 kilometres west-north-west of Bridgetown.  It is the principal supply for the Water Corporation’s Bridgetown Region Water Supply Scheme, which supplies drinking water to the towns of Bridgetown, Hester and Boyup Brook. Bridgetown is the closest town.
