Water storage tank
This dome is the smaller of two water storage tanks that are associated with NS4176 : Garshake Water Works; it is 45 feet in diameter. For a view of the larger dome, which is 90 feet in diameter, see NS4176 : Water storage tank; as is discussed there in more detail, the water tank itself dates from the late nineteenth century, but its aluminium dome cover was only added in the 1960s.
Both tanks are shown from further away in NS4176 : Water Storage Tanks, near Bellsmyre.

Garshake Water Works
An Act of 1857 empowered Dumbarton Town Council to abstract water from the Overtoun Burn and to construct reservoirs at Garshake and the Black Linn. Further works, associated with the abstraction of water from Loch Lomond, were completed in 1960. A filter station, built on the Garshake site, was inaugurated in 1964.
