As a lifelong resident of Yorktown, I've been privileged to see our community evolve. I've seen changes, both delightful and challenging, reshape our town. Yet, amidst this progress, the importance of preserving our history and identity remains paramount. The Yorktown Tiger Water Tower, with its unique artwork, stands as a testament to our shared past. This distinctive structure was the product of our forebears' commitment and dedication, their efforts funded entirely by our citizens. This tower is not just a water storage facility; it is a symbol of our resilience, unity, and pride.

Unfortunately, the existence of this irreplaceable piece of local history is under threat. With increasing urban development and a forgetting of the old for the new, the Tiger Water Tower runs the risk of being substantially altered to a new logo that was not agreed upon by our residents. We cannot allow this to happen. Every town has its own story to tell, and in Yorktown, the Tiger Water Tower is an integral part of ours.

Therefore, we call upon the citizens of Yorktown and all those who value our shared history to unite. Let’s ensure our town's distinctive landmark, the Yorktown Tiger Water Tower, continues to stand tall, and in doing so, remind ourselves of the strength of our community and the remarkable narrative woven into every corner of our township. Please sign this petition to preserve the Yorktown Tiger Water Tower and keep the spirit and history of Yorktown alive.
