Exposition
This museum was established on the
premises of the Siauliai water supply tower in 1974. The exhibition is
arranged in a circle inside the tower perimeter. It presents the history
of the Joint-Stock Company “Siauliu
Vandenys”, its construction, regional water economy development and
reconstruction stages, the achievements of its team-working staff, its
traditions and its recent activities.
The most interesting exhibits consist of photographs from the beginning of
the 20th Century, which not only reveal the construction of the water
supply and plumbing systems, but also present the history of Siauliai.
The first work tools and equipment are also exhibited. For instance
chisels, pipe-cleaning brushes, cracked and plugged hot- and cold-water
pipes, hydraulic pumps, various water-measuring instruments, and water
samples from each of the Siauliai water sources.
The current water economy is also presented in the form of graphs and
diagrams.
Tours of the museum are available on request.
