Mysterious Letters on a Weathervane ~ Weathervane Wednesday

This weathervane was spotted in Lakeville, Laconia, New Hampshire, on the Daniel Webster Highway.

This banner style weathervane is located above the cupola on the Laconia Water Department building.  It is a traditional banner, with some intricate rosettes and iron work.  The initials "W.W." were quite mysterious to me until I read that in 1955 the city of Laconia merged the Laconia Water System and the Winni Water Company to establish the Laconia Water Department.  This building was originally the Winni Water Company.

The municipal water for Laconia is fed from Lake Winnipesaukee in Paugus Bay. The raw water is pumped from the lake at the location at 988 Union Avenue, and treated before moving to a storage tank, and then gravity feeds it to the customers in Laconia.  There are six storage tanks in the system.
