One of the Ephrata water holding tanks for the potable water system above the city on Beeezley Hill. To flow from this source tank to the other side of the city, water must go downhill, cross the lower part of downtown, then go uphill to meet the needs of the southeastern side of town. Residents have previously complained about low water pressure, but improvements to the system are expected to level pressure across the city.
