Is the water always up there?
How does the water get up there? I assume pumps but it all just doesn’t compute in my brain.

In areas that are mostly flat with no hills water towers serve to store and provide driving “head” to deliver water. The friction of water flowing through pipes requires energy. A water tower provides energy to over come this friction with gravity. This allows allows sufficient pressure to your house and also fire hydrants, which btw typically set the criteria for how much water to store and how much pressure (the potential demand for fire water flow and pressure).
