The water tower at 1 Maja Street in Racibórz - excluded from operation, brick with a brick water tower in Racibórz located at the Municipal Waterworks Department at 1 Maja 8 street. It was commissioned on September 23, 1874. The areas for the construction of the tower and other buildings of the plant were purchased gradually, part in 1838, the rest in 1862. The tower is 25 m high, and the capacity of a flat bottom tank, made of 10 mm thick steel sheet and embedded at a height of 23 m is 500 m3. Water for the use of the tank was drawn from nearby Odra. Then it was cleaned in sand filters and pumped into the tank with pumps with a total power of 30 HP. Initially, the main recipient was a railway neighboring with the plant, as well as the developing Racibórz industry. In the 1930s, the tower became insufficient for the needs of the city. Therefore, the decision was made to build another tower in Stara Wieś, but the old tower still fed the majority of the city, because the newly built tower produced too much pressure, and was also used by the Nazis for ideological and propaganda purposes. Currently, Raciborski Zakład Wodociągów i Sewer system is considering the commercial use of an unused facility for years.
