Wauwatosa Water Tower

There’s no way I can rate on this location since it’s just a water tower. I’m just surprised that this is on Unilocal and was put through on the website. I can play the game and just check in every day

See everyones original review. At another link since the geniuses at Unilocal decided to add another location with reviews made for this location. #Derp error does not compute. ???
Sorry this is not much of a review but a rant. Since I refuse to write another review or cut and paste my original review.

Tosa water tower, you’ve stood stoically by as the new Mayfair Crossings shopping center went up, and didn’t even snicker when everyone at rush hour got confused with the changing of the cadence of ALL the traffic lights on Burleigh. (How long can you hold the anticipation of going under the 894? Why must you make us wait so long, traffic gods?)
I’ve sampled your water at Café Bavaria while sitting out on the patio, poured some from this antiquey looking metal container at Rocket Baby, and bathed my car in your contents in your shadow at Scrub A Dub.
Above all else, you posed for a lovely side angle shot early this morning before you probably had your first cup of coffee and didn’t even complain.
Five stars.
**side note:**
I’m still not sure why I’m reviewing (and now giving human qualities to and taking pictures of) a water tower. I’m not gonna question it too much. It clearly must be special.

Great place to get a drink of water. Although, it’s quite the climb. Let it freeze up in winter & we’ll have the states largest Margarita mixer. Just add Tequila, Grand Marnier, Orange Juice, Sweet N Sour & Limes. I’ll need a bigger glass! Or, maybe a funnel.
The elevated tower looks like a UFO as I blast down I-​45 at night The red lights around the periphery give it a spaceship affect
It would be cool to convert it into living space with lots of windows. The unobstructed views would be spectacular!

The discussion of this landmark is certainly elevated. Wauwatosa has three elevated water tanks (the proper name for a water tower) and three reservoirs, this one being the largest elevated tank and the most obvious.
In fact, this 2.5 million gallon torosphere is the largest tank in the State of Wisconsin. Think how many six packs of Riverwest Stein Beer that would make!
If you happen to live in Wauwatosa, you should be happy to know that in 1998, the entire 33,000 square foot interior was blasted to bare steel, under the SSPC-​SP10/​NACE No. 2 specification and coated with special aromatic urethane zinc-​rich primer, then topped with two coats of a fast-​curing, water-​safe, polyamide epoxy. Like you care. It just means the interior is a safe pitcher for water.
The exterior was painted in 2001, a most amusing procedure to watch on a daily basis over the summer. Each day, the tower was completely covered with a canvas shield that resembled a giant condom. It was blasted to bare steel, primed, and painted the lovely blue color that you see today. The top coat was applied with rollers on very long extension poles (several yards too long for you to use on your ceiling.)
The entire procedure was entertaining to watch over the summer. The guys who painted the tower must have nerves of steel or no nerves at all. Whatever they used for the top coat, it must have been a good product because the tank looks like it was painted last week, not 13 years ago.
I will admit to being a closet fan of elevated water tanks but let’s keep that our little secret, okay? Tanks a lot!

Best water in the world, people come from miles away just get a taste
