Water company Farys has begun restoring a historic water tower built in 1924 at Bastion V in Dendermonde. The tower, recognized as a protected monument, was originally part of a former military site. After exploring new functions for the tower proved financially unfeasible, restoration efforts have started. The work is expected to be completed by mid-2027. The tower reflects the construction methods of the time and provides insight into the evolution of drinking water supply in Belgium during the interwar period.
