Alamance Water Tower and Clouds

Old rusted and vine covered water tower in the Village of Alamance, North Carolina. A thunderstorm's clouds are just beginning to gather.

 

Chatham Mills water tower. Located in Pittsboro, NC

 

Swepsonville Municipal Water Tower, Swepsonville, North Carolina

The first recorded observation as an aerial survey point was January, 1954. I do not know what year the tower was erected.

 

Liberty Municipal Water Tower, Liberty, North Carolina

 

Burlington Socks Water Tower I 85-40 NC btw ext 145 and 147

 

Saxapahaw Municipal Water Tower, Saxapahaw, North Carolina

 

Yanceyville Green Water Tower, Yanceyville, NC

New Municipal Tank for Yanceyville, in Caswell County, NC.

 

Bellvue Mill Industrial Tank, Hillsborough NC

Industrial tank at a closed textile mill, on the west side of Hillsborough. Unlike municipal tanks which supply drinking water, the primary purpose for this tank was fire protection. If electricity, or the town's water system, failed for any reason, several hundred thousand gallons of gravity-fed water in the elevated tank could operate the emergency sprinkler system. The mill dates from around 1900, and was also known as Flynt Fabrics. This tank replaced a 122,000-gallon standpipe which was fed from the river.

 

Municipal Tank, Ramseur, NC

Municipal tank, along Highway US-64. This tank sits on a slight rise, on the south side of the main highway through Ramseur. The town's name is painted on the west side.

 

Graham Municipal Water Tower, Graham, North Carolina

 

Queen Ann Street Water Tower, Burlington NC

At the corner of Queen Ann St and Race St.

 

Hawfields Water Tower, Hawfields NC

Near intersection of Highway 119 and Nereus Dr.

 

Cole Park Plaza Water Tower and the Plaza

Located at Cole Park Plaza Shopping Center between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro, NC. I'm guessing that the tower was already here from some other facility that used to be on this site and the shopping center kept it for advertising.

 

Old Municipal Tank, Yanceyville North Carolina

Oldest of two water tanks in Yanceyville, in Caswell County, NC.

 

Queen Ann Street Water Tower, Burlington NC

View near Graham St and Queen Ann St.

 

Hawfields Water Tower, Hawfields NC

Near intersection of Highway 119 and Nereus Dr.

 

Pittsboro Municipal Water Tower, Pittsboro North Carolina

 

Swepsonville Municipal Water Tower, Swepsonville, North Carolina

This dominates that side of town.

 

Municipal Standpipe, Hillsborough NC

A 200,000-gallon standpipe on a hill overlooking Hillsborough. Standpipes are an old but reliable hydro technology. They have smaller "footprints" than a water tank. (Actually, a water tank is a short standpipe atop a metal tower.)
