Hantsport is listed in 1873 as having a 18' x 11' water tank, perhaps similar to the Middleton Water Tower.[1]

By 1931, the tanl was a semi-enclosed octagonal water tower was located just west of the station and warehouses on the north side of the tracks.

It is listed on DAR employee timetables in 1931[2] and through to 1951.[3] and was likely removed with the end of steam power circa 1960.
