Warbreck Water Tower was built in 1932 for the Fylde Water Board to be able to supply water to the households in Blackpool. It was built on the highest point to be able to keep up a good water feed and good pressure to the households When the water tank is full it is estimated that the weight of water in it is 43.8 times the weight of the steelwork in Blackpool Tower. Two reservoirs at the side of the water tower feed water via pumps into the tank at the top of the tower and these reservoirs are fed by a distance of 16 miles from Barnacre Reservoir at Longridge which is north east of Preston.
