Water Tower Historical Designation

For the past several years, the North Park Historical Society has been interested in securing designation of the North Park Water Tower as an historic place. On May 1, 2013 the State Historical Resources Commission unanimously approved listing the Water Tower and  the surrounding “district” of past and present water supply facilities as a significant California Resource. The State also recommended that the water tower and district be listred on the National Register of Historic Places.  Click on the following document to see the application prepared by Alex Bevil for the North Park Historical Society. Water tower district 13000417 final nomination signed. On June 25, 2013 the Water Tower and the entire University Heights Water Storage and Pumping Station were placed on National Register of Historic Places.

On a pro-bono basis, V & A Consulting Engineers completed a coating evaluation of the Water Tower. Please click on the document to see the evaluation 13-0332 North Park Water Tower Coating Evaluation TM.
