ABSTRACT:
A tower is disclosed for the elevated storage of water or other liquids. The tower includes a concrete cylindrical shell having an upper distal portion, and a steel tank mounted co-axially at the upper distal portion. The tank has a lower floor opening for the shell distal portion to pass therethrough. The shell distal portion has a plurality of peripheral openings adjacent to the tank floor opening. A continuous tank floor passes through the shell peripheral openings, and sealingly closes the tank floor opening. The tank floor supports the tank and liquid therein, and connects the tank to the cylindrical shell.
