Why Do NYC Buildings Have Wooden Water Towers on the Roof?

New York City buildings have wooden water towers on their roofs because the city’s street-level water pressure is not always strong enough to reach the upper floors. In a traditional system, a pump lifts water to a tank above the apartments. When someone turns on a faucet or takes a shower, gravity sends that stored water back down through the building’s pipes. The rooftop tank is there to provide a dependable source of water and pressure, not to decorate the skyline.

The 35-year-old rapper, born Willie Maxwell II, married Hill in a lavish ceremony at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains on Nov. 5. The couple announced their nuptials in an Instagram post , captioned "Mr. And Mrs. Maxwell." The intimate ceremony, which reportedly drew about 90 to 100 guests, came less than four months after their engagement in July 2026. The marriage marks another milestone for Fetty Wap after his release from federal prison earlier this year. The "Trap Queen" rapper pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in August 2022 and was sentenced in May 2023 to six years in prison. He served about three years before transitioning to home confinement and supervised release in January 2026, with his full sentence term scheduled to conclude on Nov. 8. Since returning home, Fetty Wap has focused on rebuilding his music career, releasing his fourth studio album " Zavier " in March. The album centers on themes of personal growth, time away from the spotlight and navigating a return to the music industry.
