FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, THE[Water Tower Love Leads to Love for Water]
MOST POPULAR VIDEO ON THE CITY OF PLANOS YOUTUBE CHANNEL HAS BEEN AN OUT OF SERVICE WATER TOWER BEING TAKEN DOWN.ITS TOPPLING, HAS CAPTURED IMAGINATIONS WORLDWIDE AND IS PARTICULARLY FASCINATING TO YOUNG CHILDREN.
CHILDREN LIKE JACK, THE ORIGINAL PLANO WATER TOWER KID WHO RECREATED THE DEMOLITION FOR HIS HALLOWEEN COSTUME IN 2018.

THE ALMOST SEVEN YEAR OLD FROM MICHIGAN TRAVELED ACROSS THE US TO TOUR A TOWER.
I FOUND THE WATER TOWER TIPPING VIDEO, AND I SAW THE PLANO WATER TOWER ONE THAT IS THIS.

I, NOT THAT TOO, THAT ENCOURAGEMENT HOPEFULLY CAN HUMANIZE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND PLANT THE SEED FOR WHAT COULD BE A LIFELONG CAREER IN WATER.
AND IT ALL STARTED WITH THE TIPPING OF A.
