Intake Towers of the Kanamachi Purification Plant / Kanamachijōsuijō no shusui-tō (金町浄水場の取水塔)

Two water treatment plant intake towers may seem like something only a water engineer would be interested in. However, these twin structures, the first one no longer exists, are interesting bits of architecture in their own right. The second tower, Dai 2 shusui-tō (第２取水塔), which is the one with a conical roof, was built in 1941. The third tower is the Dai 3 shusui-tō (第３取水塔). They can be approached on the pathway next to the river on the one on top of the levee. The second tower also has a stairway connecting the two pathways. By the way the south exit of JR Kanamachi Station has a bench with a small replica of the tower.
