The Serpentine Pipehead Dam was constructed to use the Serpentine River, in Western Australia, to convey water from Serpentine Dam to the interconnection with the metropolitan trunk main network. The dam is also used to store water from the Dandalup scheme whereby water can be pumped or gravity transferred back into the Serpentine Pipehead Dam.
A dam was constructed in Western Australia along the Serpentine River, serving as a conduit for water transfer between the Serpentine Dam and the metropolitan trunk main network. Furthermore, this dam is utilized as a reservoir for storing water from the Dandalup scheme, facilitating either gravity-driven or mechanically-assisted return of water to the dam.
