Where are all the water towers

[Wilmslow]

Plenty around the Perpignan area - getting to be my second home these days

They make navigating much easier on a flat area!

Nice one at Tilehurst visible from the M4

now they have to be buried underground.

Never a drop of rain on Arrakis

Some great pics there folks. Keep 'em coming.

Here's a more artistic example:

Looks like a failed unexploded SCUD missile from Iraq.

Don't seem to see those big gas towers any more either - you know, the huge inflatable cylindrical thingies that were sometimes full and sometimes half empty. Going back to my childhood to remember that image though, which may not be accurate.

There is a BIG one 0.5 mile away from our office!

Here is the one close to my St Cyprien marina apartment....

BG have been slowly decommissioning them as, for the most part, they are no longer required due to the high pressure system now prevelant
The old towers were there to cope with peak demand. Contrary to popular belief the gas in the tower is stored at very little over atomspheric pressure.

With the exception of those that have listed building status, they will continue to slowly disappear from the landscape.

(Who said that the 6 years I contracted for BG in IT were wasted? )

It was those environmentalists. They objected to water towers obscuring their view of wind turbines, so now they have to be buried underground.

Wind turbines buried underground ? Now why didn't I think of that.

Another Plan B missed.........
