Working list: Tallest water towers of Taiwan

Listed below are the tallest water towers of the island of Taiwan. The number of towers is somewhat limited by the more recent use of elevated topography to store and supply water in cities like Taipei.

From an interesting historical standpoint, there are several water towers on the list dating from the 1930s that were constructed during Japanese occupation of Taiwan (1895-1945).

As more information is located on other water towers in Taiwan, the data will be added. Peace!
