Reservatório Elevado de Ceilândia

The elevated water reservoir stands 27 meters tall and holds 500,000 liters of water, featuring protective walls and electric fences for security measures.

Construction began in 1973 under architect Gerhard Leo Linzmeyer's design, and the reservoir started operating in 1977 to supply water to higher elevation areas.

The reservoir appears on the city flag, local soccer team shield, and numerous business facades, representing a central element of Ceilândia's identity.

The structure continues to serve the water distribution needs of the region under the management of the Federal District Environmental Sanitation Company.

In 2013, the government designated the reservoir as Historical Heritage through Decree 34,845, marking its importance in the development of the Federal District.
