An elevated steel water tank on four braced steel columns, built by Chicago Bridge & Iron for Bunnell's new waterworks, which went into operation on 12 December 1927. It holds 75,000 gallons and has a conical top and rounded Horton-type bottom. This rounded-bottom tank type is commonly referred to as a "tin man". The east and west faces carry the lettering "City of Bunnell, Crossroads of Flagler County". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 2019. The 2018 National Register nomination said the tower provided emergency water pressure and was inspected yearly and repainted every five years. It stands at 100 Utility Street, Bunnell.
