Midhurst, which served Barrie Ontario as its clsest contact point, als had an
open tank. Somewhere in my slides I have a photo taken in the early '70s. When
the tank was removed, it was taken to a local ready-mix plant, where it resides
to-day, minus the top half of the tank.

Would all of these tanks be of an enclosed variety, and what would exterior

been the enclosed type? And if so, where were they located and are photos
available? Thanks. Jim
As previously mentioned open tanks were located in BC but they were also
found in Eastern Canada too. For example, Galt, Ontario had an open water
tank.
Basically the three enclosed structures appeared the same but varied in size
because of differences in the water tank size.
The capacity and water tank dimensions were:
Capacity Dimensions
20,000gal 18â-6â x 14â-0â
40,000gal 24â-0â x 16â-0â
60,000gal 27â-6â x 18â-0â
And just to make it more complicated water tank structures may vary in height
too. Thatâs because depending on where the structure was located you
needed the tank higher to get enough water pressure in the pipe. This is
especially true if there were double tracks and a water spout located between
the two tracks.
There are drawings for all three variants of enclosed water structures in the
CPHA library.
