Most water towers are built with two purposes in mind. One is to provide a storage facility for potable water, the other is to provide water pressure for the system. As such, the towers are typically always 'releasing' water. There are normally a couple of one way valves to insure there is no 'backwash' to contaminate the water in the tower, but the tank is providing pressure in much the same way as the tank of a toilet.
