What is this Thing?

Look at this THING , located at Summit Park (on Arthur Avenue) in Victoria BC:
Thalamasa did not know, but is free to give it another shot.
All I can find is that it is part of a park...
with no parking lot,
and no picnic tables,
and no play area for kids,
...just this THING.
What is it?

Did ancient astronauts build this water reservoir?

The water looks darker than I would expect, and I don't see any "processing" plant. Normally reservoirs have associated facilities. Maybe this isn't a normal reservoir. Maybe it's a strangeavoir!

If I were to wager a guess, some sort of waste water treatment facility. Possibly along the lines of the one shown as municipal services on theHydroxyl website.
Since their corporate Headquarters are 6 blocks away it might lend credence to the theory.
But I do agree the lack of parking, and additional buildings, etc is odd.

The MSN Live bird's eye view shows it a lot more clearly:

So that's where the LHC stores all it's strangelets it's producing, eh?
The conspiracy starts to take form. Hmmmmm.

Could it possibly be a tarp of some kind instead of water?

Evil Tarp!

Found it:
Smith Hill Reservoir
(Which begs the question--a reservoir on a hill?)

Holy hotentot-smythe, I was right. Who'd thunk that?

Excellent gentlemen. Bonus points all around.
I'm still trying to figure out whether this reservoir actually serves a purpose other than to support high real estate prices. Have you seen the prices for s-m-a-l-l houses in the reservoir's district?

Man, you don't need to do anything to inflate Victoria's house prices. Everything in the city starts at 500k.
There's a 29 million house in Oak Bay.

Don't believe the propaganda. It's actually a breeding tank.
Or maybe it's an emergency backup resevoir for seasons of drought. Most cities have one.

If you're looking for a reason to have a resivoir on top of a hill... that's pretty simple, and the same reason people make water towers. It delivers a more constant water pressure, allowing the pump to be turned on and off as needed (and to allow for off-peak electricty prices). Something that size would be insignificant in the case of drought, I should note.
