Is this a picture of a cellular tower or a water tower. You guessed it; it is both a cell tower and a water tower. As many of you may remember I put up a picture of a cell tower off the Mass Pike back in August, that was made to look like a tree. The dilemma of where to put new cellular towers
Well here is another way in which they attempt to blend the cell towers in; this one is actually integrated with what appears to be a fully functional water tower, and is thereby serving a dual purpose both as a water tower, and a cell tower. Many people just are unwilling to have these cell towers go up around them, because they think they are ugly so they have to work out many solutions like this in which they integrate these things seamlessly
This particular cell tower is located off of route 138 in Rhode Island, just prior to the URI campus.
