Bankstown Reservoir, Water tower in Bankstown, Australia
The Bankstown Reservoir consists of a circular water tank supported by 36 concrete pillars with decorative arches encircling the structure at 86 meters above sea level.
Construction of the Bankstown Reservoir commenced in October 1918 to reduce pressure on Ashfield Reservoir, using a portable steam engine for concrete mixing and sandstone from Potts Hill.
The New South Wales State Heritage Register added the Bankstown Reservoir in November 1999 for its representation of early 20th-century engineering and architectural design preferences.
The reservoir maintains a capacity of 4.4 million liters of water at a depth of 8.7 meters, distributing drinking water to areas including Villawood, Croydon, and North Strathfield.
The site where the reservoir stands was used in 1826 as a hanging ground for bushrangers Patrick Sullivan and James Moran during early European settlement.
