The Highland water tower will open its doors from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 8 and 9 for the annual autumn open house. The tower’s observation deck provides visitors with a spectacular view of the area, particularly looking down on the changing colors of the trees dotting the Highland Park golf course below and out toward the Mississippi River.
In addition to the view from the observation deck, several original Highland tower blueprints, many of which bear tower architect Clarence Wigington’s signature, can be seen. The open house is designed to inform residents about municipal water and the efforts of the utility to preserve and protect water resources. Information about the utility’s water treatment process and distribution system will be available. Utility employees will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about utility services.
The water tower is located in the Highland neighborhood located at the intersection of Snelling Avenue and Ford Parkway.
