United States historic place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Torre Water Catchment, also known as the Hatsuho Water Catchment, is located on what is now Hatsuho Golf Course in Yigo (Piga), Guam. It is a historic site that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] The catchment has an octagonal-shaped exterior made of concrete around limestone gravel and cobbles and has a plastered cylindrical interior. It is 5.19 metres (17.0 ft) in diameter and its walls vary from .27 to .46 meters thick. It was built in approximately 1916 by a farmer, Juan dela Torre, to provide water when needed, in a northern area of Guam that is far from regular water supplies.[2]
