Reserve Township was incorporated as a township in 1835.
The Spring Garden Water Company was incorporated in 1864 by G. Wettach, A. Weise, Francis Pope, K. Schlegel, A. Freund, Charles Kiefer, Doctor F. Hardtmeyer, John Schaad, F. Beilstein, Charles Zehnder, Gust Kann and Samuel Hasley.
The only other evidence of this company's existence is a payment by Allegheny City for some water pipes and an 1868 court case. It may also have been connected to the Spring Garden Run Borough incorporated in 1883 and the current Spring Garden neighborhood in Pittsburgh. Parts of Reserve Township have been annexed to Allegheny City and the City of Pittsburgh.
Water is provided by the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority.
