Not all Water Storage Facilities are Towers. They don’t really tower at all. This particular one only rises above ground level approximately 6′ but much more of it is below ground.

It sets on the west side North Lamar at FM 2222, across the street from the Main Headquarters of Texas DPS.

It is one of the older water storage and pumping facilities in use in Austin. The second picture is about the only clear view where one can see it. The rest of the perimeter has tall shrubs planted that obscures the view of it.
