Prospect Reservoir Valve House, Heritage waterworks in Prospect, Australia.
The Prospect Reservoir Valve House features an octagonal structure with sandstone brick walls and Victorian Free Classical architectural elements.
Built in 1888, the valve house regulated water flow from Prospect Reservoir as part of the Upper Nepean Scheme to supply Sydney's growing population.
The reservoir area holds significance for Aboriginal communities, with evidence of settlements near Eastern Creek and Prospect Creek catchments.
The valve house maintains its operational status, controlling water release of 450 megalitres daily from Prospect Reservoir to the Lower Canal.
The building contains original Kent flow meters from the 19th century, known for their measurement precision in water distribution systems.
