The Ponsonby Tower was built by Frederick Ponsonby, the Third Earl of Bessborough in memory of his son, Federick Cavendish Ponsonby, who was assumed lost during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). The tower was left unfinished however when he returned home in 1815.

In its second incarnation an upper level was added to house a tank for its use as a water tower.

The tower, now in disuse, stands as a roundabout at the edge of Piltown.

Officially opened on July 2nd 2010, the water tower at Bawndaw in Waterford has a capacity of 550m3. Known as "the Wine Glass" the tower was built to service a rapidly expanding residential area in the north west of the city. As this land lies between 45 and 85m none of the existing towers in Waterford were at a sufficient height. A new reservoir of 8,800m3 is also attached to this tower.
