The Water tower The water tower is part of the story of the water supply to the residents of Hadera. In 1891, Khan residents used rainwater collected in a pit in the courtyard south of the building. The first well was actually a leaky pit (on the corner of Jerusalem/HaNasie streets today).
In 1898 the first public water well was excavated at the corner of Rothschild / Herbert Samuel streets and supplied water to a small pool with a tap and from there to the public trough of the colony herd, without a water flow system to the houses.
In 1922 the main water pool was placed here on HaGiborim Street, in the highest place in the colony. The water from the Hadera wells was pumped to it and pumped by piping to the residents’ homes.
The tower that now stands above the pool was later built to increase the water pressure for the developing settlement. In the pre-state period, a liaison and signaling station operated on the tower.
From Shifra Levy’s memoirs: "On the tower was the "Dovecote" made of wood with glass windows all around.
From there we communicated with the area - Pardes Hanna, Karkur, the train stations, Herzliya in the south and from Ahuza to Hanita in the north. During the day we used a heliograph - absorption by mirrors and the sun’s rays, and at night with flashlights. "
Memoirs of Efrat Amir Member of HaHagana: We created communication with the surrounding communities during the day, with the help of mirrors and flags and at night, with the help of lanterns in the Morse language. To get to the position it was necessary to climb a steep ladder, there were bats and it was very scary to climb. "
