Water towers in Września

Three water towers in Września once supplied water in Września, Poland. Two water towers are still in use.

Tower on the water treatment plant

Tower on the premises of the water treatment plant

The tallest was built in 1904 (some sources say 1907 and 1911) and is the highest building in the vicinity.[1] The tower is 64 metres (210 ft) tall and its top is finished with an interesting brass dome. The building belongs to the municipal Water Supply and Sewerage Enterprise. Next to the water tower stands the water treatment plant. The tower is near two ponds, allotment gardens and Polytechnic School.
