Geocache Description:


Do not attempt access to this cache from the Interstate!

This cache has been placed along a newly constructed concrete roadway named Water Tower Drive.

Water towers provide extra water storage for a town's water supply. They hold about a day's worth of water, so if the town's pumps fail (like during a power outage), the water tower acts as a backup water supply. Water towers are built high up because they need the pressure produced by the elevation of the water to push water into the town's water pipes, so no pump is needed.

However mainly a water tower is used to handle excess demand, like in the morning when people wake up and get ready for work (going to the bathroom, showering, brushing their teeth, etc.) all around the same time. At night, when water usage is very low, the water tower refills itself from the town's water supply by means of a pump which is used to get the water up into the tower.

Please do not search for this cache at night.

You are searching for a Small Round Tube Type Magnetic Container with only a log sheet.

Bring a writing instrument to sign the log – this is a small log sheet so sign with date and name only.

Poisonous Plants, Bugs, Insects, Critters or Snakes could be present. Search accordingly.





Congrats To 4ranger13 and Team State On Their Co-First To Find!
