The ruins off to the sides of the reservoir and the reservoir itself are significant due to their industrial, archaeological and social significance. The site itself has great aesthetic importance.
A large circular reservoir tank into which the Eastern Goldfields Water Supply at first terminated. The tank sits atop Toorak Hill, once the extreme of the gazetted town and the name of its northern suburb, and it is at a point from which the most extensive and informative views of Coolgardie can be seen.
The tank is associated with the epic feat of the construction of the Eastern Goldfields Water Supply, one of the State's most important and ambitious undertakings.
