Mt. Tabor Park reservoirs - early 20th-century municipal water infrastructure

Mt. Tabor Park contains a series of early-20th-century open reservoirs and related waterworks installed on the volcanic cinder cone to serve Portland's municipal water needs. The reservoirs and associated pumphouse structures illustrate historical approaches to urban water storage and distribution. Portions of the reservoir system have been decommissioned and are the subject of preservation and adaptive-use discussions, reflecting the city's evolving water infrastructure policy.
