The water tower was in operation in the Heinsberg district waterworks network until the early 1980s. It has been a listed building since July 29, 1991. In the list of architectural monuments in Wegberg, entry no. 158, the tower is described as follows:
“The Uevekoven water tower is a brick tower that was put into operation in December 1934. It has a double-shell construction to keep the drinking water fresh even at high outside temperatures. There is a container made of reinforced concrete within the wall ring. The tower has a ring of supports made up of six concrete pillars, the bending length of which is shortened by freely drawn ceilings. The pillars surround the tube that contains the stairs to the container, the base plate of the container protrudes above them. The cylinder of the water tower head is divided horizontally by several plaster bands. The light openings are arranged as horizontal formats between these bands. Standing on a slight hill on the edge of the Tüschenbroich forest, the tower takes on the character of a landmark in the otherwise flat landscape. The unchanged preservation and the clearly visible affiliation of the water tower to the architectural style of brick expressionism make the building important for Wegberg and its residents, as well as for the development of buildings for the drinking water supply.
The water tower is 53 m high and has a diameter of 10 m. The container (flat-bottomed container made of reinforced concrete) has a capacity of around 400 cubic meters.
The water tower has been privately owned since 1995.
