Warner Bros. Water Tower, Water tower at Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, United States
The Warner Bros. Water Tower stands 133 feet tall with the WB shield logo displayed prominently on both sides of its cylindrical structure.
The tower moved from its original position near the Fire Department after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake to prevent potential disruption of emergency services.
The steel structure appears in numerous Warner Bros productions and serves as the fictional residence of characters Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in Animaniacs.
Studio visitors can observe the 100,000-gallon capacity tower during guided tours, which includes information about its construction and architectural features.
The water tower receives special paint treatments for specific events, such as film releases and company milestones throughout the entertainment calendar year.

Water towers are critical engineering structures that ensure the storage and distribution of drinking water in urban and rural areas. Over decades, these structures have evolved far beyond their utilitarian role to become notable architectural elements. This collection includes diverse examples around the world, from the Trelleborg water tower in Sweden, built in 1912 and reaching 58 meters (approximately 190 feet), to the El Aguila Water Tower in Madrid, a former brewery converted into a cultural venue. Each structure reflects the techniques and aesthetic trends of its time. The Svaneke water tower in Denmark, designed by architect Jørn Utzon in 1952, exemplifies modern Scandinavian design with geometric forms and white concrete. In Gaffney, South Carolina, the Peachoid surprises with its giant peach appearance, while the Torre del Agua in Zaragoza demonstrates contemporary possibilities with its 76-meter (about 249 feet) glass façade, constructed for Expo 2008. The Vukovar water tower in Croatia bears marks of history, with walls riddled with over 600 shell impacts, testifying to the conflict of 1991.
