It's pumped up there. The reason for water towers is not a water supply to the city or town, it is to maintain water pressure from your tap. The weight of the water held up there in the tower keeps the water pushing through the water pipes throughout the city, and into your home.

The water usually comes from either a well or a reservoir and is pumped into the water tower. The height of the water tower is what gives you your water pressure.

Its usually pumped to the tower from a water filtration plant or reservoir or lake depending on what the waters intended use will be.

Good question! I read some of your answers and I never knew there wasn't really water held up in there. Cool!

Water from various water sources is pumped into the towers during times of surpluss (i.e. rainy seasons, etc.) for use when there is a shortage.
