The Trolley Square water tower is covered in red and blue neon lights, and it is a prominent feature of the Salt Lake City skyline, able to be spotted from miles away at night. For many years, the tower would give the local weather forecast based on the colors of lights, with solid blue being fair weather, flashing blue being cloudy weather, solid red being rain, and flashing red being snow.
As of recent, however, the tower has ceased its function as a weather forecaster, and simply displays a continuous pattern with the red and blue lights lit at the same time. When there used to be a four-screen theatre in Trolley Square, the titles of the movies that were playing would be posted on a sign attached to the water tower. Although the theatres no longer exist, the vacant sign can still be seen on the structure of the tower.
