That would have been for the old steam engines which needed water , water towers are quite common in North America ( Canada and USA ) as larger towns and smaller cities need to pump in water to provide it to everyone , myself i have a well so not relying on anyone for my water supplies

There are something like that. This is "Iksha", an old urban-type settlement (a cross between a village and a town), 27 km from my house, Like a village, but the houses are as in the city - many floors and apartments. People who live there are not farmers, just work somewhere in the administration, school or on the railway. They have a central heating from town boiler house.

I do not really like this system - it is difficult to regulate, and for money is not always profitable. For example, in the spring, I'm already warm and don`t use a heating, but they have heating works, and the boiler room is far away, too much heat is going away.

There are no enterprises there - there is just an administration building, a school, a kindergarten, one makdonalds, market. some shops, and several administrative buildings belonging to the railway. And the old water tower was built by rumors back in Stalin's time. It is 70 years old, no less.
