Reservatório Elevado de Ceilândia, Water reservoir in Ceilândia, Brazil.

The Reservatório Elevado de Ceilândia is an elevated water storage structure that supplies the region with a capacity of 500,000 liters. The structure is protected by defensive walls and electronic fencing and remains an active center of water distribution in the area.

The reservoir was built in 1977 to a design by modernist architect Gerhard Leo Linzmeyer and belongs to Caesb, the Federal District's water utility. It stands on the spot where governor Hélio Prates laid Ceilândia's foundation stone in 1971. It was raised high to supply higher ground with adequate pressure, a need later met by other technology. The Federal District government listed it by Decree No. 34,845 in 2013.

The reservoir is a postcard symbol of Ceilândia: it appears on the administrative region's flag, on the crest of a local football club and on the facades of businesses. The water tower, analogous to the one in Taguatinga, is thus reproduced far beyond its own grounds.

The reservoir is not open to visitors: it is a fenced Caesb facility with walls and electric fencing, so it is seen from outside. It stands 27 metres tall in Ceilândia, and its profile can be picked out from the surrounding streets.

In 2013 the structure received official recognition as cultural heritage through a government decree. This designation underscores how this water storage facility became more than just infrastructure, becoming part of the region's identity and memory.
