Check out Rowlett’s water tower—live via webcam

by Chad Jones

It's a drizzly, ho-hum afternoon in Dallas-Fort Worth. You are sitting at a desk, bored and aimlessly surfing the web. And you're just itching to know how the construction of Rowlett's Kirby Road water tower is coming along.

A still capture of the tower. Watch it now.

But where, oh, where can you find out more?

Well, courtesy of the City of Rowlett's homepage, you can check it out for yourself.

At the moment, a combination of raging storms and the holiday season lag has hampered construction, but the action should pick up real soon.

Be sure to click the "time lapse" button toward the top of the viewer to see warp-speed footage of the water tower's construction from the ground up.

I don't know, Chad, I think its more "fun" watching <a href="http://www.lycksele.se/templates/Page.aspx?id=7115">this one</a>.

In '99 (they do this thing every year) it reached almost 50 meters before they turned off the inverted shower head. (That's 162 ft. for all us backwater US of A folk.)

Now, if Rowlett started building an ice tower on top of their water tower, things in these parts could get interesting.

Oh, if you're interested in seeing incremental growth at the rate of mm's, you'll need to refresh the dang page. Swedish technologists haven't cracked that code yet, it seems.
