Particular feature of water tower was construction of conical tank at ground level and subsequent jacking, through nearly 100 ft, to final position; lifting entailed positioning of hydraulic jacks on top corbel, together with 1 3/4 in. diam steel rods approximately 100 ft long connected to cone; total load hoisted was about 770 tons.
