"One day I asked him why do your think they make a water tower and store the water up in that big ball of a tank? "Hmmmmm.. I dunno, why?"
Well, why?

The Bush administration can't control gas prices. Period. Reminds me of the anecdote concerning Ronald Reagan's first words upon entering the Oval Office after inauguration:
"Ok, where's that lever that controls the fuel prices?"

I figured that is why it is stored up in the air, but what is the reason that they store water? Or are you saying that the storage supplements the water treatment systems to maintain water pressure.

My approach is that I will not discuss much of anything with anyone who has not taken an economics class or workied in the business world. Then again, I was and Economics / Business major, and have worked in the manufacturing sector all my life.
I'm just some dumb enlisted guy, but even I can figure the basic stuff out.

Yeah. They keep a tank in the local area to feed to the residents and keep filling it from the larger water system.

Wow, I never realized that. For some reason I always thought that residents were either directly connected or that they were on wells. I always figured that water towers were an emergency supply.
Thanks. My goal is to learn one thing every day. Now I can go back to sleep mode.

Probably because you're a smart man and have the ability to think. Thank you for your service to America.
Despite what you hear from liberals, we love, honor, and respect our military!

As far as I know---the main pont of water storage towers is to "help out" the system in peak demand times.
Think of it this way::
When the need is low(late at night /during a rainy period), the need for the city water supply will be a LOT lower, than say, during "dinner hours"(from about 6-9pm), or "bedtime"(when many are taking bath/showers, and getting ready for bed) and "wake up time" (same thing applies). During this "peak use" time, the water tower will supply the extra needed water, WITHOUT over-burdening the pumping stations. And-- during the "off peak times" (after midnight), the tank is "charged"(filled), so that it is ready for another "peak cycle".

Look at the price of oil now. (October 29, 2007) Now say the same crap! But the economy is so good. WHERE?

It’s mostly because the dollar has lost a lot of value. Oil is priced in dollars, so more dollars are needed to buy it.
Blame “inflation”.
