This is one of three open reservoirs at Mt Tabor Park and of five total in Portland. The 3 open reservoirs in Mount Tabor Park were placed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 2004. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation: Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, referred to as the LT2 rule imposes new requirements that open water reservoirs be covered, buried or additionally treated.
