WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) - If it looks like the West Allis water tower is leaking, don't worry. City officials say it's just a sign of the hot and humid weather.

The apparent "waterfall" flowing down the sides of the tower is actually condensation, according to the city's public works department.

Officials confirmed to CBS 58 there is no leak or malfunction with the water tower. Instead, the warm, humid air is condensing on the cooler surface of the tower, causing water to drip down the sides.
