Curious as to what this structure is. Can be seen from the bay in front of Weirs Beach up on the hill as you are facing West.

Thanks,
Bill

That's a water tower disguised as a lighthouse:

It is a water tower and connected to the sales office for the Meredith Bay Developement

When Meredith Bay (or whatever name it went by back then, Akwa Vista?) was going to be built it was determined that there was not enough capacity and water pressure to service the amount of development that they proposed. They built the tank but it is filled and serviced by Laconia Water Works. It was built to look nice in the neighborhood rather than just be a plain old water tank.

When the tank is almost full the incoming water shuts off and the water pressure is from gravity until the level is low enough to cause the pumps to refill the tank.

Thank you, as a resident that is nice information. Much appreciated
