Tall water towers are necessary to generate the necessary water pressure via the law of gravity. A tower 70 ft tall will generate at least 30 psi of discharge pressure. A so called water tower of no significant height off the ground would generate very little pressure and be of no practical use. That's why we have numerous tall towers around TV.
