Notes from the WSD leaflet about the Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail:

The valve house is situated near the south end of the Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir dam. The valve house was built on a projecting platform which has cantilevered steel balconies or catwalks fixed to the front of it. The valve house was built to a rectangular plan with walls of rock-faced rusticated granite. The roof is flat and the parapet has a moulded projecting cornice and coping all round the building. Window and door openings have semi-circular arches and flush cills. The windows on the side facing the road have been blocked up
