Description

TERRELL, Justice. Appellee, West Palm Beach Water Company, owned, operated and controlled a plant, for treating, storing and distributing water to the City of West Palm Beach. One feature of this plant was a reservoir 120 feet long, 50 feet wide and 14 feet deep when filled with water. The reservoir was within the corporate limits of the city. It was not fenced and was on lands owned by defendant. It was surrounded by grass lands or lawns and as one approached it the land rose about seven feet above the general ground level. At the top of the elevation the reservoir was surrounded by a concrete curbing about eight inches high and ten inches wide. On the inside it slanted gradually to the bottom. A part of the equipment of the reservoir was a series of pipes which sprayed water into the air reflecting light rays in rainbow colors. The reservoir was located about 75 feet from the highway adjacent to a thickly populated area of the City of West Palm Beach.
