That's pretty cool - interesting to see them pulling the bulbous part up the center like that.
Curious that there's a big door at the bottom. I wonder if they seal that shut before filling the tower, or if there is some central interior pipe that actually holds the water, and that door stays functional.
Good question. I like water towers but really know nothing about their engineering.
Great post (as always). And thanks for linking to my blog!
