Did you know? Reusable water bottles reduce plastic waste. Single-use plastic bottles contribute significantly to environmental pollution.

We reached back into the historical archives with the help of a former Des Moines Water Works employee to find this calendar.

In 1932 and 1933, Des Moines Water Works had a yearly calendar printed.

Featured in 1932 was the Allen Hazen Tower, now located in Tower Park, 4900 Hickman Road in Des Moines. This iconic landmark, constructed in 1930, will undergo rehabilitation this summer. Constructed in the Doric architecture style, it has 16 pillars and a 2-million-gallon storage tank. It was named for Allen Hazen, a New York engineer known for his pioneering work in water treatment.

We’ll share the 1933 calendars with you next week!
