Scope and content
Hood St. Reservoir. The Hood St. Reservoir, as pictured in July of 1925, was in a serene setting at South 32nd and Yakima near the Holy Rosary Catholic Church. It would serve South Tacoma and other low-lying districts only. In the reservoir's foreground is an aerator which is putting oxygen in the water to aid in the prevention of growth of anaerobic bacteria. The large concrete lined basin had a capacity of 13 million gallons of water. The reservoir, which can be seen over one side of the Yakima/Thompson Bridge, is now capped.
