The Water Towers are identical with a cylindrical tank, a conical top and a hemispherical bottom. Each one is supported by 16 steel legs. There are three rows of red and white checkerboard.
The water towers are visible from cruise ships and they are about 1/2 hour north of the Gutan Locks.
Don't confuse these two water towers with another two water towers (
visit link) just east of the Gutan Locks. They are supported by only 8 legs and have only two rows of red and white checkerboard.
~ coordinates estimated from Google Maps which are clear enough that you can see the legs ~
