This fine old elevated tank serves the town of Oswego. The cylindrical white-painted tank sits atop a four-legged tower. The name of the town is painted in red block letters. It's right behind the firehouse, which must be convenient when they want to re-fill those tanker trucks. The benchmark location is the top center of the tank.

There is another elevated tank about a mile to the west.
