Doug,
Please see the attached warranty deed. This indicates that the water tank is to the mill buildings and hydrants. I've
attached a screenshot from Nearmaps as well.
Not sure if these items are helpful but they will be used as part of my research.

Julie and team
The Building Department needs to know if the water tank serving the Palmer school is still in use, perhaps for Fire

I have a call into Willie Quinones.
