gah. I should know that. that's the Texas DPS main offices right across the street, right?
that means that's the corner where my mom used to flowers so we could put vegetables in the "neverending stew" we kept on the hot plate in our 10x10 home. I spent whole days at that corner singing with her to pass time (there was a 7-11 there until recently) so I "should" know what that is. but I don't recall.
I'd tend to agree. It's probably part of the water distribution system for austin, looks like there's a pump house and the tank is probably a holding tank. Looking at the terrain map, it appears to be along a ridge that's slightly higher than the surrounding area, and that's often where pumping stations are sited.
In fact, my google GIS skills haven't failed me. Check this Major Water Facilities map in PDF and you'll see a pump station and reservoir noted right there.

Back in college when I studied journalism a spent a couple of assignments learning about how to dig around in public records for just this sort of thing. I bet they don't even bother to teach that any more.
