Trimpley Reservoir can be seen to the west of the line between [[Bewdley]] and [[Arley]]. The reservoir, which is managed by Severn Trent Water, was opened in 1968 and covers 29 acres. It is mostly around 3ft deep, although around 40ft deep near the valve tower in the main reservoir. A settling pool is located to the south of the main reservoir and a little below it.
The Pumping station was opened on 5 May 2067 1967 by Ralph Yates, Chairman of the Birmingham Water Committee.

Water taken from the [[River Severn]] is stored in the reservoir, and at times of peak demand is used to supplement the supply from the [[Elan Valley Aqueduct]]. The treatment plant is located on the opposite side of the line with water carried by the [[Trimpley Pipe Bridge]].
