To increase the water pressure that flows from it. Allowing the water to go to the maximum amount of houses.

thay are on high towers because if it was below how would the water flow. Putting it on high towers gives you an advantage of the gravity with means you got free pressure without having to use a pump.

Water pressure = Height * density * gravity
