Talk:Louisville Water Tower

--- Can someone who's got some knowledge of Water Tower have a look at this? It claims it to be the first 'ornamental' Water Tower in the world, a look at the Water Towers page gives a link to Grimsby which is 8 years older (and ornamental). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antsnest (talkcontribs) 00:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Possibly the explanation is that Grimby's is a hydraulic power accumulator to power the locks, not a Water tower in the usual sense of towers that are part of a city water supply system. But technically, it appears Grimby's is indeed a water tower, and it is ornamental. It seems like a quibble so I am not inclined to change it, but if someone feels strongly possibly a qualifier might be added: eg (admittedly clumsy attempt:) "ornamental city water supply tower" J JMesserly (talk) 04:49, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I moved this sentence and reference here to consider

[edit]

" The statues and the tower itself were most recently renovated in 1993.[1][2]"
There are pictures of the tower on flickr taken, I think. in 2008 showing the statues removed and restoration appearing to be happening. Any better information? Carptrash (talk) 16:17, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Should the Louisville Water Works be a seperate article? Many of the building seem to have come later and are credited to Charles Hermany as here. I would appreciate any help or insight in sorting this out. Thanks! :) Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:18, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you have enough information to create another article about just the Water Works then I say "Go for it." It might turn out later that this article gets incorporated into that one, but start it first. Carptrash (talk) 13:25, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
