Geocache Description:

Found on ISU campus. Parking nearby will be tricky during weekdays between 8-5.

I walked past this landmark every day for years. Here is some history: It was the first elevated steel water tower west of the Mississippi. Standing 168 feet above campus, the tank itself was 40 feet tall and 24 feet in diameter and held 162,000 gallons. The use of the Water Tower was discontinued in 1978 when the university switched to a city water system. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, and in 1997, it was restored. In 2007, the American Water Works Association presented an award to Iowa State University, naming the Marston Water Tower, an "American Water Landmark."
