The water tower uses gravity to provide a static pressure head on the water main.
A "volume tank" uses compressed air to provide exactly the same thing that gravity and tank volume does in the city water tank and that is to provide surge capacity and reduce pressure variations resulting from pump operation.
Nice try though.
