AÃÂ water towerÃÂ is an elevated structure supporting aÃÂ water tankÃÂ constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize aÃÂ water supplysystem for the distribution ofÃÂ potable water, and to provide emergency storage for fire protection. In some places, the termÃÂ standpipeÃÂ is used interchangeably to refer to a water tower.[1]ÃÂ Water towers often operate in conjunction with underground or surfaceÃÂ service reservoirs, which store treated water close to where it will be used.[2]ÃÂ 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.
