A quickish road-side park and grab.
From gz you dont actually realise that you're standing under one of Durbans tower reservoirs.
Learn something while you're here:
Water towers are reservoirs that use gravity to store water and provide a pressurized flow of water to homes and businesses:
-
How they work
Pumps add water to the tower, which gains potential energy from gravity. When water is released from the tower, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which forces water through the distribution system.
-
How they help
Water towers provide a stable water supply, even during power outages, and help meet peak water usage demands.
-
How they're sized
The size of a water tower depends on its location and the area it serves. Smaller towers are often used for rural towns or public institutions, while larger towers are used for metropolitan areas.
-
How they're maintained
Water towers are inspected and cleaned every few years. The water is also turned over daily to ensure high water quality
