I had an opportunity to look at an apartment renovation project at an apartment community in Downtown Sacramento. The new owners, and property management, have some pretty good ideas for the renovation of a special apartment community.

While looking around the property I notice a structure that I had not seen before. It’s not your standard water tower, but that’s what it is.

 

Looking for a General Contractor in the Sacramento area? We would love the chance to look at your project.

I guess if you're going to have to have a water tower, then it's a good idea to make it look more interesting and a conversation piece instead of an eyesore.  I've never seen this before so you have a good eye to catch this. Thanks for sharing.

I've heard that the water tower has looked like this for a few years, it has been a while since I've been in that area of downtown Sacramento I guess.

It does look better than the standard water tower Dick.

Tom, I would have guessed that it was a water tower, and I would also guess that the extended roof is built that way so nobody could climb up the sides and get on top of the roof.  Just a guess.

Seems nicer than the "typical" water tower, doesn't it?

Very odd looking water tower, but that's what I would have guessed.

Tom - looks like the person who designed this water tower wanted to create something unique. At least it's not a total eye soar!

It sounds like a good guess to me Carolyn.

Hi Time, At first I looked for windows or a wrap around ledge thinking it might be some sort of prison or fortress tower. LOL. Guess the wire walls make me think it other than a water tower. It sure is not very attractive though I suppose they proobably intended it to be. :-)

I think it was intended to be attractive. It could be worse William.
