Here too, the water tower is on a mountain as you often see. Other examples: the water tower on the Klitsberg in Paal, the Balenberg in Baal and so on.

The water tower in Heusden has both an inner and outer tank. This ensures continuity in the water supply during maintenance or repair work. They are concentric cylinders: one inside and one on the outside. The tower was built in 1949, has a capacity of 1000m³ and is 34m high.
