Thomas Hill Standpipe

In April, a pair of gigantic trees, which have stood for over a hundred years along the backdrop of Union Street, were removed from the front lawn.

Time for this flatlander to learn about the Thomas Hill Standpipe. Do you know why it's called Thomas Hill?

Kind of a bummer, but it's a "no-go" in 2024 For 24 years now, the Thomas Hill Standpipe has put on tours, with spectacular views from the top of this iconic landmark, but due to overdue repairs and maitnenance on the facilty, the Bangor Water District has decided to shut them down for the year...

Next week, the Bangor Water District will be flushing out lines to remove sediment that may have built up in the water delivery system through the last few years.

This is a must for anyone who has a Stephen King, or Bangor area bucket list! Every time the Bangor Water District hosts their tours of the iconic Thomas Hill Standpipe in Bangor, hundreds of people turn out to get a glimpse of one the coolest visuals in town...

While Bangor proudly champions the label, we, of course, are not the only ones who tout the nickname with pride.

As the final tour of 2023 concludes, we look forward to the arrival of Spring 2024.

It's almost time to take the fall tour! You will have two chances to do it next month.

This one will take place between 4 PM and 8 PM, theoretically, in time for you to witness the sunset that evening.
