The Alnwickhill filters and service reservoir stand near Liberton on the southern edge of the city. This system of filter beds works through the water filtering through gradations of sand to remove impurities which it has picked up either at the source or through its journey to the city through pipes. The Alnwickhill filters concentrate on purifying the supply from the Moorfoots which includes the Portmore, Gladhouse, Rosebury and Edgelaw reservoirs.
