Definition :

Reservoirs. As to construction of reservoirs, see (English) Waterworks Clauses Acts, 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. c. 17) and 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 93), and the (English) Reservoirs Safety Provisions Act, 1930 (20 & 21 Geo. 5, c. 51). For powers and procedure of local authorities to construct, lease or purchase reservoirs, see (English) Public Health Act, 1936, ss. 116-123, subject to the conditions imposed by the Acts. The (English) Limited Owners Reservoirs and Water Supply Further Facilities Act, 1877 (40 & 41 Vict. c. 31), gives limited owners power to form reservoirs and to charge their estates with the expense. Reservoirs are among the 'improvements' which may be made with capital trust money under the (English) Settled Land Act, 1882; see s. 25 (xiii.); now under the (English) Settled Land Act, 1925, s. 83, and 3rd Sch., Part I.
