Högdalsreservoaren, Water tower in Högdalen, Sweden
Högdalsreservoaren is a water tower in Stockholm featuring two separate concrete reservoirs at different elevations. The dual-basin system allows water distribution at varying pressures to serve different areas of the city.
The tower was completed in 1962 by Stockholm's municipal water utility to supply drinking water to the growing Farsta district. It represented a key infrastructure investment in the city's suburban expansion during that period.
The Stockholm City Museum designated the water tower with a blue marking, recognizing its architectural significance and contribution to the urban landscape.
The structure is visible from the ground and offers a distinctive focal point in the Högdalen area. Visitors can observe the architecture from public spaces, though interior access is not typically available.
The tower sits atop a hill to the south, with its two separate basins operating independently to meet different water pressure requirements. This dual-basin system is a rarely noticed feature of mid-20th century Swedish water infrastructure.
