History

The first water tower in Temesvár was built in 1552 to supply water to the Hunyadi Castle, and the next one was built in 1774, and its importance is shown by the fact that it was also featured in the town's coat of arms. In 1912, the construction of a modern sewerage and drinking water network in the town began under the direction of engineer Stan Vidrighin. This was also when the water tower in Józsefváros (Josephtown) and the water tower in the Gyárváros (Factory town) were built. The water towers were designed by the architect Lenarduzzi János from Budapest.
