Vodojem Jesenice, Water reservoir in Jesenice, Czech Republic
Vodojem Jesenice is a water storage facility in the town of Jesenice that consists of four large tanks designed to hold and distribute drinking water. The concrete structure was built in sections to create separate storage chambers that work together as a unified system.
The facility was built in stages, with the first tank constructed during the initial phase of a major water supply project and a second identical tank added in the 1980s. This gradual expansion reflects the growing need to serve more communities across the region.
The reservoir marks the end point of the drinking water tunnel system from Zelivka Water Treatment Plant to Prague, serving multiple communities in the Central Bohemian region.
This is an operational water storage facility that is not open for casual visits, as it remains in active use for the region's water supply. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only.
The concrete structure features prefabricated columns and ceiling elements joined with prestressed concrete roofs. The roofs are divided by expansion joints into regular square sections, showing an innovative construction approach from when it was built.
