"Lost Forever"
Canadian Water Towers and Standpipes
Unfortunately, too many water towers and standpipes have disappeared over the years. Due to increased water demands, maintenance or refurbishing costs many were replaced by new towers, holding tanks or underground reservoirs. Others disappeared because of changing technology (railroad water towers for steam engines) and some simply slipped into history by leaving them exposed to the elements.
