Carol Underwood: The first pic I've seen with water in the reservoir. Mike Beresford: Carol Underwood Really!? Actually (now) it’s just a “mirror” covering the actual reservoir. The covering was placed to protect the water from a threat of possible poison. (I don’t remember if it was WWI or WWII) |

Some of the East Basin wall is still visible.
