Water Towers

Рубрикатор / City Services/Housing and Communal Services

WATER TOWERS. Tall structures with reservoirs at the top; in St. Petersburg, they were used mainly to provide water to industrial enterprises and railway stations; for storing water in case of emergency; and for the evening-out of water consumption during each 24-hour period. Because of the city's flatness, water towers were rarely used for municipal water supply. One water tower used to supply water to the central part of the city (1860-63, architects I.A. Merz, E.G. Shubersky) has been preserved on the territory of the main water station (56 Shpalernaya Street; the Water Museum was opened there in 2003).

I. A. Bogdanov.
