Water pressure is naturally created by having the source of water at an elevation higher than the destination. Spring water can be collected at a higher elevation and piped to a house at a lower elevation to provide running water - with reasonable pressure - no pump required. A water tower is "artificial elevation" to provide water pressure for home or a neighborhood. A very general rule of thumb is the higher the tower the higher the water pressure at the tap.

∙ 10y agoA water tower is designed to hold a reservoir of water for a city, as well as help maintain the water pressure. Theses structures are able to provide water in the event of a power outage or pump failure. Many water towers are now just historical landmarks in smaller towns.

Why is the Water Tower Place important?
Do not confuse "Water Tower Place" with the "Chicago Water Tower." Water Tower Place is a high-rise shopping center that was finished in 1975 next to the original Chicago Water Tower. Water Tower Place is credited with bringing more middle class shopping to the former upscale North Michigan Avenue district and beginning the move of Chicago's main downtown shopping district from State Street to North Michigan Avenue. The Chicago Water Tower is famous for having survived the Chicago fire. Other than being located next to Water Tower Place, the two have nothing in common.
