An apparatus-mounted portable standpipe with one or more nozzles that can be elevated to variable heights; primarily intended for deploying an elevated master stream; not generally intended for climbing operations. Also known as an Elevating Master Stream Device.
A water tower or elevated water tank is a very large tank constructed for the purpose of holding a supply of water at a height sufficient to pressurize a water supply system. Many water towers were constructed during the industrial revolution and some of these are now considered architectural landmarks and monuments and may not be demolished. Some are converted to apartments or exclusive penthouses.
Water Tower is an episode from That '70s Show.
