| The leading trade paper in Sweden VA-tidskriften Cirkulation has a series about water towers under the headline Ebers vattentorn (Eber's Water Towers). Here are the same pictures and texts (translated) of interesting water towers in the world except Scania and Sweden, as in the journal. |

Cirkulation 1/2019 A free translation to English: When you open your water tap, you want that the water shall have a good pressure, not too high and not too low. This may require a more complex water pipeline network, if it is in topography with high altitude variation. One common way to solve this is to create several pressure zones, and if there is a need for water towers, build several towers. It does not prevent these water towers from being found in the same place, even if, like the suburb of the French city of Arras, Saint-Laurent-Blangy, they build the water tower on top of each other. More normal is to create reservoirs at different heights in the same water tower.

Cirkulation 2/2019 A free translation to English: Water is a prerequisite for life, while its opposite does not necessarily is valid. Our culture of preserving the memory and the remains of those who are no longer in life has created rooms for this memory. Modern cemeteries in our culture sphere often have verdure, with lawns, flowers and trees. Verdure needs water and then can a water tower be useful. Such a tower, probably drawn by architect Albert Nyberg, was built in the late 1930s at Malm's cemetery in Helsinki, opened in 1894 and today Finland's largest. It was the construction company Otto Vuorio who built the tower.

Cirkulation 3/2019 A free translation to English: Many of the 170 water towers that have been presented in Cirkulation until now have been towers that for some reason have been special. But all water towers do not get such attention; towers that every day, year after year do their work for the benefit of us thirsty souls. They do not take such a large place, but raise above the crowd. Such a water tower is in the small town of Tillar, Arkansas, in the United States. For some reason, the last letter has dropped off from the tower, so that there now stand Tilla, which may look like a thought. A water tower, that perhaps have stand there for 55 years, a tower that one should congratulate every day.

Cirkulation 4/2019 A free translation to English: To be mirrored itself in a water tower is not possible on so many towers, but something that is possible on the new water tower in the German city of Chemnitz in Saxony. On the 1 350 m² large façade, the artist Peter Apfel has with 400 pieces of 2.5 meter high stainless steel plates in two silver gray shades, matt and reflective, made this possible. The Chemnitz tower has first been built as a 22 meter high cone in reinforced concrete and has subsequently been covered with stainless steel plates to get a varied facade. The total construction cost was EUR 4.6 million, including government grants, where the extra facade cost EUR 400,000.
