• Resumen

  • This article looks at water towers. Though water pumps used by most municipalities are strong enough to push water throughout a town's pipe network, pressure would fluctuate with usage. A water tower maintains a constant pressure on the lines and provides backup supply when demand exceeds pump output. Most tanks are designed to carry one-day's supply of water plus reserves.
