Built in 1934, the tower is one of the few concrete elevated reservoirs in Sydney, which features Egyptian-style doorways and serves the proximate suburban communities.

The platform above of tower for the staircase, which leads to the top of the reservoir, has a steel frame.

Features of the tower include davit, handrails and inlet and outlet valve chambers.

Surrounded by Australian bushland, it is one of the highest points of Prospect Hill and can be observed from Prospect Highway and other areas nearby, due to its steep, prominently elevated, edged location.
