Six of its structures were declared monuments in 2009, namely the former watchman's cottage, the gauge basin and four masonry bridges, and a further masonry bridge of granite at the east end of the reservoir, carrying Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road on a semicircular arch, was declared in 2020. The reservoir lies in Pok Fu Lam Country Park, which the Hong Kong Trail crosses.
