One hundred feet tall and sixteen feet in diameter, this structure embodies the significance of "pure and plentiful" water resulting in the city's early growth and development as the hub of the Wiregrass region. Through the careful stewardship of the city, the standpipe has provided the citizens with a continuous supply of water which began flowing on April 5, 1897.
