Keppel Hill has become a new place for exploration ever since the discovery of an abandoned and forgotten private reservoir (also known as Keppel Hill reservoir) dating back to 1905 made the news after it has been discovered by the National Heritage Board (NHB). This reservoir is located in the Mount Faber forest and is not marked in local maps since 2000 . It served as a source of water for the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, which was the forerunner of today's Port of Singapore Authority.
I love exploring such places especially one that has a long history. I knew my husband would never go to these forests and for safety reasons, I can't go alone either. Hence, when I saw that there would be a free guided tour to the forgotten reservoir, I immediately signed up for it. It would also be nice to hear more history of the place from the tour itself.
