The Stone Harbor Water Tower, built in 1924, is the oldest municipal building still in use in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. At 132 feet high it can be seen from almost anywhere on the island. It holds 500,000 gallons of water and is supplied by four individual fresh water wells 890 feet deep that tap the Kirkwood Aquifer. To this day, Stone Harbor residents and vacationers still receive water the old fashioned way (gravity) at 52 pounds per square inch.
