The first function is to maintain constant pressure in the

system, and prevent the emergence of negative pressure

situations. Negative pressure can suck groundwater or other

sources of pollution into the water supply, contaminating the

town's water. A town with a water tower, however, can restassured that the water lines will be fully pressurized at all

times, keeping the water safe to drink. In some areas, a water

tower must be attached to the municipal water system for this

reason.

The second function of a water tower is more economic. A

water tower can deliver water at periods of peak demand

relatively easily, while a pump may have difficulties. By using a

pump and a water tower, a town can save costs on the pump by

pumping for average demand. When demands for water outstripthe abilities of the pump, the water tower kicks in to supply

more water. When the pump is providing more water than the

town needs, as often happens at night, the excess fills the

water tower so that it is ready for the next period of peak

demand.

how many different water tower designs are

there, and does the design change how well

it works?

Post 4

it seems like you only see water towers in

small town and not in bigger cities. why is

that?

and are there water towers that are still being

used in big cities?

to anon5670. the water does not just sit by

idle, it is moved through the system and

refilled to the level one chooses to set as the

level of the tower. when it gets down to thelower level a sensor will tell the pumps to

come on then when it satisfies the pressure

setting for full it will turn off. Most every

water system is always moving water if not

then yes it will turn into a sort of pond water

and would not be very good to drink.

if the water just sits there for periods of time,

don't the walls grow mold or algae? and not

all are 100 percent safe so can you get sick

from the water sitting in the mold and

fungus?
