Intiö Water Tower has been designed by architect J. S. Sirén and it was completed in 1927. It is the first water tower of the Oulu Waterworks. A water tower in Myllytulli had been built in 1921, but it was only used by the Veljekset Åström leather factory. The water tower is 39 metres (128 ft) tall and capable of holding 600 cubic metres (21,000 cu ft) of water.
The water tower was closed in 1969 when a new water tower was opened in the Puolivälinkangas neighbourhood. The city of Oulu sold the water tower to a private person in 2015.
