Union Watersphere, Water tower in Union Township, New Jersey, US
The Union Watersphere reaches 212 feet in height and holds 250,000 gallons of water in its spherical tank above the industrial landscape.
Engineers constructed this water infrastructure in 1964 through the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company with an initial investment of 89,500 dollars.
A dedicated museum in Austin, Texas presents artifacts and documentation about this water tower, demonstrating its influence beyond New Jersey borders.
The structure combines water storage capabilities with telecommunications equipment at its base, serving multiple infrastructure needs for the local community.
The Federal Aviation Administration required the addition of a red beacon in 2008, extending the total height by six additional feet.
