Second Floor

A large water tank filled the western half of the second level, supported on huge concrete joists. The water purification tanks were still above us, so I wonder if this cistern was used for the drinking water supply.

(If it was, then the drinking water was at a lower pressure than the other water mains supplied around the hospital).
