Jo, I think that the reservoir was used after water came from Wales. Why it is put out of action I don't know. It is on the too of a hill, and those at the bottom got really good pressure. Those at the top had poor pressure, but pumps would put that right.

Does anyone know where Liverpool has local reservoirs in use? I can't think of any.

It was decommissioned just under 5 years ago. The tower worked on the same principle as a toilet cistern.

It would be nice as a 'visitor attraction' the water works, real history. I asked United Utilities some time ago, and they were't really interested. The Everton water tower would be interesting to see as well.

Gregs dad has photographed Everton Water Tower too.

Just looking for them. In the meantime, here's some here by Lindy Lou.
