Building Town Water Tower (145')

Building Town Water Tower (145')

A typical and common town water tower, header pressure, found in surburban and regional centers within South Australia. The structure is 6 levels tall built of reinforced concrete during the late 1930s and 1940s.

These were located at high points within a region and water would be pumped in and have a higher pressure due to the force of gravity. This would then directly feed to the consumers in the service area and was more efficent and consistent that direct pumping to residentiual homes and businesses. Water would be pumped to back fill the usaed water and maintain pressure.

These where phased out during the 1970s and 1980s in most cases as the requirements of the increasing population in the area increased above the servicable capacity and pressure of the tank head. Following these they have been repurosed by adorning with UHF and mobile towers.

145ft tall (44.2m)
250,000 imperial gallons (1,100,000 liters)

Locations: Belair, Elizabeth, Glenside, Largs, Long Plains, Osborne, Owen, Tailem Bend, Woodville
