William Thwaites (1853–1907) was a civil engineer working in Melbourne, Victoria in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was responsible for the design and supervision of construction of Melbourne's Sewerage system.
==Early life and training==
Thwaites was born in Melbourne, Australia, on 13 August 1853 to cabinet maker Thomas Henry Thwaites (1826-1912), the second son of George Thwaites Senior (1791-1865) and Eliza Thwaites née Raven (1831-1907), who were married in 1851.〔Robert La Nauze, ''Engineer to Marvelous Melbourne, The Life and Times of William Thwaites'', Australian Scholarly Publishing 2011〕
Thwaites was educated at the Model School in Spring Street, Melbourne in the 1860s. His family moved in about 1858 to 64 Little Collins St East. Thwaites trained under the famous engineer William Charles Kernot, obtaining the certificate of Civil Engineering and Master of Arts (1876 at the University of Melbourne.〔 He was recipient of the Argus Scholarship, which had been advocated by Kernot and Frederick McCoy in 1873 and in 1875 he was awarded the Natural Science Scholarship at the University of Melbourne. This, as part of a total of ₤330 in scholarships and exhibition prizes, helped greatly to fund his education, otherwise unobtainable through his family's limited means.〔 Under an agreement between Melbourne University and the Victorian government, Thwaites undertook 12 months experience under supervision of an engineer, Arthur Wells, as pupil draftsman in the railway department.〔
