The Water Tower Shopping

 Do you have problems with water pressure at your home?
You could build a water tower to help with that. FYI: the term standpipe can also be used when discussing water towers.

Husbandman and I have been shopping around for water towers during the pandemic.  This one, over near Riddle Point Park, is a beauty.

The water tower, with the power of gravity, helps water flow through our pipes so we can brush our teeth and take our showers.  In the evening, water is pumped back into the water tower.  Some water towers merely serve to store water in case of emergencies, which is also helpful.

We will need to connect our water tower to an underground reservoir or some type of water supply, which could be tricky.  Sure, there are things that need to be worked out, but we'll get there.  We don't have big problems with water pressure right now, but with this crazy pandemic, anything could happen.  I'd just feel better if we had a water tower in the backyard.

On RAGBRAI (not this year),we always look for the water tower in the distance when we are coming upon a town. We then yell, "Water tower, water tower, let's get drunk." We don't always get drunk, but we always chant it anyway.

That’s so awesome. I read that there are some good water towers in God’s Country.

Rest stops and water towers. It's nice to enjoy the regular things.

Rest stops and water towers are the best of America. Probably.
