The original Bay Street reservoir was built in 1924 as a 35 million-gallon, open-air, raw water storage reservoir. It was built before modern building codes and earthquake standards and by the early 2000's was deemed unsalvageable. Tour its modern-day state-of-the-art replacement tanks and learn about how the Water Department manages its drinking water storage and delivery systems.
