The Thomas Hill Standpipe on Jackson Street in Bangor will open for tours this Wednesday, July 24th, between 4 and 8 p.m.  There is NO CHARGE!  Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

The old Standpipe, built back in 1897 holds 1.75 million gallons of water that is drawn from Flood's Pond in Otis, and the building that houses the actual water tank is 110 feet high.  The Bangor Water District features these tours four times a year.
