The water reservoir under the hill by Barker School is likely in use to help the firefighters deal with the fire on 4th Ave NW.

Pumps in the reservoir automatically kick in when lots of water gets used.

Bill Brenner says that because the city’s water pressure comes from gravity having the reservoir in the north end of Dauphin can help combat low pressure if something happens in the south.

That reservoir also gets used if any issues occur at the water treatment plant to make sure Dauphin still gets water.
