Translation of the text on the sign:
The emblem of the city of Holon
Symbol of the Haganah members’ organization - Holon branch

The Water Tower
This water tower served as a signaling station to the southern settlements. From here, the Haganah’s "communications service" made connections with "heliograph" and "Morse" devices with remote settlements such as Beer Tuvia in the south and Ben-Shemen in the east.
