GARWOOD — A borough landmark, the water tower located on 93 North Ave., is scheduled to be demolished starting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 17. The water in the tower was used to put out fires. “Now the tower isn’t used for anything,” the Municipal Clerk, Christina M. Ariemma said. “It hasn’t been used in at least 50 years,” she said. Not only is the facility dated, Ariemma described it as “decaying and all rusted.”
