Bnei Ayish Water Towers

Bnei Ayish Water Towers, Heritage water towers in Bnei Ayish, Israel.

The Bnei Ayish water towers are sturdy concrete structures that have supplied the town for decades. Their simple, functional form shows the practical building style of that era, with a shape that widens at the top to store large amounts of water.

The towers were built in 1941 by a Polish unit serving in the British army, which constructed a military camp on a hill near Hatzor airfield during World War II. The two towers stood at the top of the hill, 85 metres above sea level, and supplied the camp with water. After the war Britain closed its bases, and as settlement expanded the camp buildings were gradually demolished, leaving only the two towers.

The towers were built by the British army in 1941 for a military camp that stretched between today's Bnei Ayish and Bitzaron. The camp was constructed by a Polish unit serving within the British forces. After the camp was abandoned, only the two towers remained as settlement expanded. The site is recognized by the Council for Conservation of Heritage Sites and is designated to house the town's museum.

The two towers stand on a hilltop about 85 metres above sea level, near Hatzor airfield, on the land between Bnei Ayish and Bitzaron. Look for the round concrete tank resting on a circular wall of silicate bricks, with iron pipe brackets still fixed to the sides. The site is listed as a heritage site and is intended to house the settlement's museum, so access to the interior may depend on that work.

The towers were built to the same design as those at Kfar Truman and Giv'at 69: a round cast-concrete tank about 3 m high and 6.3 m across, holding 150–180 cubic metres, resting on a ring of silicate bricks roughly 7 m tall. Iron brackets that once carried the water pipes are still visible on the walls.
