I år 1900 var Glostrup en by i vækst, hvor tilflyttere fra især København valgte at flytte til og mange bosatte sig her mellem hovedgaden og stationen.
Det var efterhånden et ønske om Gas og Vand til byen. et ønske der hurtigt blev realiseret efter den store tørke i 1904.
Jordlodet her ved Hovedgaden blev foræret til kommunen af Anders Christiansen, I 1905 var vandtårnet bygget, men først i Febuar 1906 det blev taget ibrug.

Vandtårnet er 33 ½ meter højt og bygget som 8 kantet. vandtank kapasitet på 110 m3 vand.
