Perhaps the water tower had two discharge nozzles on either side??

So here is where I thought I would put it,...at the intersection of my loop of track that goes into that upper helix loop,...and the alternative loop I've provided for the trains to do another loop around the interior of the room.

So my thought was locate in between that 'Y'
