Built: 1908
Height:
Capacity:
Water Source: Keremeos Creek.
Area Information: The water tower not only served the farm but it also provided pressure for the domestic plumbing in two large homes on the property. One of the homes and the tower were built by the Morrison family.
The lower part of the tower had been used from ? to 2002 as a bathroom (toilet, shower, sink) and dishwashing area for seasonal orchard workers who stayed in cabins (used to be a garage/shop and a honey house) on the property and the adjacent property.

There are plans to restore the stair case up to the second level in the tower. There is a sort of ladder from the second floor to the top floor where the tank (probably a huge wooden barrel) used to be. The third floor offers a fabulous view of the Similkameen Valley!
