Water towers are large elevated water storage containers constructed for the purpose of holding a water supply at a height sufficient to pressurize a water distribution system. Across the wasteland, they can usually be found in the vicinity of pre-War settlements.
Although they have suffered 200 years of disrepair, many water towers still contain water and can be used to replenish health at the cost of a moderate amount of radiation.
