Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Because a full tank keeps supplying water even if the pumps themselves lose power, the tower also acts as a buffer that keeps the system running through short outages.
  2. In practice, pumps refill the tank overnight when demand is low, and the stored water is then drawn down gradually as households use it during the busier daytime hours.
  3. Utilities rely on this natural pressure to keep faucets running steadily throughout the community without having to run pumps continuously at every hour of the day.
  4. That height is not for visibility but for pressure, since water stored above the level of the pipes below it will flow downward under gravity alone.
  5. A water tower is easy to spot from a distance because its tank sits high on a tall support structure, often the tallest thing on a small town's skyline.
