WATER TOWER The unique 30-meter high water tower, built in 1935, is one of the city’s icons. Its two-floor lower level was used for many years for various public offices. During the 1936-39 riots as well as during the War of Independence in 1948, the building served as a watchtower. The water tower was last filled in 1967 as part of the city’s preparations before the Six-Day War. In 1986, it was permanently disconnected from the municipal water system.
The sign shape is rectangular but its head is designed according to the silhouette of the old building of the Gymnasia Herzliya, which serves as a logo of the Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites in Israel
Translation of the text on the sign: [The Hebrew text is more detailed, so its translation is provided here]
The Water Tower The Water Tower was inaugurated in 1935 as the first building in Kiryat Motzkin, and is one of the components of the city’s symbol. It is 30 m high, has a capacity of 30,000 liters, and rests on 4 supporting pillars, one of which has an iron ladder leading to its top. The rooms on the lower 2 floors have served over the years as the offices of the neighborhood committee, a branch of the "Maccabi" movement, a maintenance and security department, a welfare services department, and more. The roof of the tower, the highest in Haifa Bay, was used during the events of 1936-9 as a contact point in Morse code between Haifa and the Western Galilee. During the day, using a heliograph, and at night, using a searchlight. During World War II, an observation post was set up at its top to warn of attacks from the air and sea. During the War of Independence, it housed a "Hagana" position for early detection of rioters’ attacks. In 1967, during the Six-Day War, the last time water was stored in the tower was in 1986. The pumping system was finally disconnected and transferred to "Mekorot".
