It would have to be awful cold for an awful long time for a water tower to freeze solid. The water is typically moving most of the time as it flows in and out. Water being pumped into the tower is going to be above freezing. And the large mass of water makes it pretty hard to get that cold. In colder climates, they may even have some sort of heating device, it only has to keep the water above freezing. And I'm sure the top edges get some freezing around them. ASS yes it could, anything could happen!!!

It can, but usually doesn't for two reasons : it is not exposed directly to the air, and there is generally water being added which must also be cooled to freeze. Water in motion can more easily distribute heat energy, so a large amount of the water would have to be continuously cooled to turn it all to ice.

If it does not have a circulating pump.

Moving water does not freeze.
