West Water Tower and Ground Storage Tank
West Water Tower and Ground Storage Tank, Historic water tower and storage tank in Orion, Illinois.
The West Water Tower rises 136.5 feet into the sky, featuring a steel tank with a hemispherical bottom supported by a steel trestle structure.
The water infrastructure, constructed in 1928, emerged as a response to multiple fires that demonstrated the need for enhanced water management in the village.
The water tower and ground storage tank exemplify the engineering methods and architectural standards of municipal water supply systems in the 1920s.
Located at 310 11th Avenue, the ground storage tank maintains a capacity of 30,000 US gallons to support the local water distribution network.
The redwood construction of the ground storage tank represents specific engineering choices made during the early twentieth century industrial development.
