Abstract
A service tower integrates a water tank and an antenna mast into a single structure. The integrated tower structure has a bottom tank for holding water, a top member for mounting the antenna, and a middle transitional section that connects the larger diameter tanker to the smaller mast. A cable is port formed in the bottom end of the mast to receive communications cables from the exterior sidewall of the tank and deliver them to the interior sidewall of the mast. An antenna support is fastened to the mast above the cable port. A hollow support arm is fastened to the mast about an opening forming a passageway from the interior of the mast to the interior of the support arm. Cables are routed through the passageway to the antenna from inside the mast.
