Description
Built in the 1920's, the tower is still functioning.
Water from an artesian spring is pumped up to a 125,000 gallon holding tank.
The structure is divided into sevel levels that were planned for tourist entertainment facilities.
Atop the tower is a four foot observation platform.
In 2003 the city hired a clean up crew to thoroughly clean the structure's interior, which had been occupied by pigeons and cockroaches for years.
In January 2005 the city held a lighting ceremony, celebrating the installation of exterior lighting.
The city plans to paint the tower, replace windows and repair the parapet.
