Have you noticed the new water tower south of Moline on Hwy. 99 ?
Wow, it worked the pic is there, it wasnt there when I previewed it. Anyhow I took this pic with my phone going down thw Hwy.
Help! It's falling!
;D
Its the leaning tower of Belnap.
Ha! ;D ;D ;D Good looking tower.I wonder how much water it holds.
It holds 114 gallons and 2 tablespoons.
;D ;D ;D Did you use a measuring cup?
Looked like they were painting it when I took the pic. I noticed that there is water pipe being put in the ground south of Sedan as well as south and west of Moline. I was wondering how much water the tower held too.
I thought he said he used a tablespoon.
I wonder how long that took. I was going to guess 500,000 gal. but I don't know of course.
You're 2 gallons off.
Over or under? Gotta get this right, our national security depends on it. ;D
This water tower is at about mile marker 20 on K-99 highway, on the east side right about 50 feet from the roadway.
At about mile marker 24 and to the west of K-99 by quite a bit is another new water tower, of the standpipe variety, that appears to be much taller and appears finished.
Been doing some reading on this and they say the water towers for a community such as ours would be capable of holding enough water for about 1 day. Apperantly they are on contiuos fill and there hight is set using a formula to maintain a certain amount of pressure, somewhere around 9 to 13 psi.
Ifound this info on How Stuff Works .com they have a lot of really cool looking towers of all shapes and sizes.
