A water tower is an elevated structure supporting a water tank constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize a water supplysystem for the distribution of potable water, and to provide emergency storage for fire protection. In some places, the term standpipe is used interchangeably to refer to a water tower.[1] Water towers often operate in conjunction with underground or surface service reservoirs, which store treated water close to where it will be used.[2] Other types of water towers may only store raw & x28;non-potable& x29; water for fire protection or industrial purposes, and may not necessarily be connected to a public water supply.
