Water towers are everywhere around us. These massive structures come in many different shapes, sizes and colors, but they all serve the same purpose: storing clean, treated water high above ground, which pressurizes it for distribution to the area.
The outsides are often emblazoned with city names, sports teams or even designed to look like fruit (surely you’ve seen Clanton’sbig peach water towerfrom I-65 a few times). But have you ever wondered what’s on the inside?
