Two precast concrete 11,500 gallon tanks were provided as part of the first phase of camp's construction and located within an triangular-shaped enclosure to the south of the camp. These were supplied via a cast iron pipe which fed water from the Moor Brook to a settling tank and filter before supplying the reservoirs. A 25,000 tank was added between 1924 and 1933.
