Summary

Water tower, Semaphore. It was built to improve the pressure of the local water supply but it was also useful for mariners as a land mark. This water tower was built in 1880 and stands on Blackler Street. It was built to maintain the local water supply when the Jervois Bridge opened and disrupted the main water supply. The octagonal walls are very thick.
