CP Tank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although long vanished, the city of Bombay once had many water tanks within its city limits. The tanks were once the only source of water to the city.The tanks were named after philanthropic citizens who donated money to fund the building of these tanks so that the citizens of the city would get a fresh source of drinking water.
The oldest tank was the Cowasjee Patel Tank built in 1775.
The CP Tank was built by Cowasji Rustamjee Patel in the Girgaon vicinity in 1775. The Framji Cowasji Tank bordered Esplanade was built by Framji Cowasji in 1831. All that remains of the tank is a plaque on a wall opposite Metro Cinema in Girgaon, South Mumbai.
