| Additional Information: | The first non-extant water tower was introduced to Reedsburg on a hill north of the city in 1895 along with a new water department and a series of wells along the Baraboo River on the north side of town. The Works Progress Administration provided funds for a sewage disposal plant and new wells in 1939. The iconic brick water tower was dismantled and replaced by a steel standpipe in 1973. |
