From its perch atop Sätra Berg, the Sätra vattentorn has silently witnessed the transformation of southwestern Stockholm. This iconic water tower, also known as Sätrareservoaren, isn’t just a functional structure. It’s a landmark, visible even from as far away as Ekerö. Sätra vattentorn stands as a testament to modern engineering and a symbol of the city’s growth. Built in 1969 by Vattenbyggnadsbyrån (VBB), the same firm behind Tensta vattentorn, Sätra vattentorn echoes the design of a classical round temple. Its slender concrete pillars, arranged in two concentric circles, support the massive cylindrical concrete reservoir. This striking design has earned it a blue plaque from the Stockholm City Museum, a mark of its exceptional cultural and historical value. The tower rises 40 meters above the ground. Its location on Sätra Berg, already 71 meters above sea level, places the reservoir at a dizzying 112 meters above Mälaren’s waters. Imagine the view from the top, reached by a climb of 218 steps. The reservoir holds a staggering 9,500 cubic meters of water. This vital resource, sourced from Norsborgs waterworks, supplies drinking water at the right pressure to areas like Vårberg, Skärholmen, Bredäng, and of course, Sätra itself. Sätra vattentorn is more than just a water tower. It is a symbol of the community it serves, a silent guardian watching over the rooftops and streets below. It stands as a reminder of the intricate infrastructure that keeps a city alive, providing a vital resource to thousands of homes.
