Armada Historic Tour

Location 2a/2b - Armada Water Tower

The old water tower was located across from the Armada Grain Company (Armada Elevator) on Depot Street. Originally powered by a steam engine, the pumps for water were eventually converted to use electric motors. All that remains of the original installation are the imprints from the tower piers, the stub of the water pipe, and next to these, the outline of the brick pump house foundation. The new water tower sits behind the Fire Hall north of town on Armada Center Road. Built in 1995, it holds 200,000 gallons of water.
