How do you get water for your property? For some larger businesses and farms, it might be that water usage warrants installing their own water treatment facility with a water tower. Water towers are also needed to supply water to the upper floors in tall buildings. This is more reliable than a pump system that will stop working during a power outage. A water tower will continue to provide water for a long time even after the electricity goes out.
A water tower serves to provide pressure in the pipes for the supply system, which will vary depending on the volume of the reservoir. The mechanism for refilling the water tower is very similar to that of a toilet, opening up a valve when the level drops to a certain level.
The water tower drains from the top to keep sediment on the bottom. This needs to be cleaned out regularly to keep it from accumulating.
