Water Measuring Station Introduction
The water measurement chamber is a square brick and reinforced concrete building used for measuring the outflow from the small Guanyin Mountain reservoir. The original construction date and design remain unknown due to lost records; however, property registration records indicate that the water measurement chamber was completed in March 1913 (Year 2 of the Republic of China) and was retired after the completion of the Gongguan Water Treatment Plant in 1977. The building is designed to be excavated downward to meet its functional needs, with decorative grooves and lines on the surface. The corners are highlighted with exposed red bricks, while the windows and frames are designed in a semi-circular arch shape above and square shape below. This building is estimated to have been added after the main construction of the Taipei Waterway was completed, but it still reflects an overall planning and design with related facilities.
