    The water tower in De Meije (Netherlands) was designed by the architects C.B. Posthumus Meyjes and J.J. van der Linden and built between 1931 and 1932 and has been a listed building since 2001.
    It is one of the water towers built using the slipform system. The tower is 57.65 meters high. The water reservoir at the top of the tower has a capacity of 450 m3. During the restoration in 1977, the tower was painted white instead of gray.
