Water towers in Września

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tower at the water treatment plant

Three water towers in Września once supplied water in Września, Poland. Two water towers are still in use.

Water treatment plant

[edit]

The tallest was built in 1904 (some sources say 1907 and 1911) and is the highest building in the vicinity.[1] The tower is 64 metres (210 ft) tall and its top is finished with a brass[citation needed] dome. The building belongs to the municipal Water Supply and Sewerage Enterprise. Next to the water tower stands the water treatment plant. The tower is near two ponds, allotment gardens and Polytechnic School.

Railroad station

[edit]

Another tower, built in 1907 and now unused, is located at the Września railway station, near several apartment buildings and an overpass. Another, smaller tower was destroyed during the bombing on 5 October 1939.

Barracks compound

[edit]

A former tower was located in the Prussian Barracks Complex in Września. It did not survive the Russian invasion. The location houses a cinema, a club and Wielkopolska Insurgents’ Trade School No 2.
