Enoggera Reservoir is an outer north-western suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 census, Enoggera Reservoir had a population of 25 people.
History
The Enoggera Reservoir suburb is named after the Enoggera Reservoir Dam. As of 12 February 2011, sufficient water inflows returned the reservoir to usable levels, and water is now used to supply neighbouring suburbs. Prior to this the reservoir levels were insufficient for water supply, primarily due to the drought which was experienced by South-East Queensland prior to the January 2011 floods.
