    I'm estimating roughly 212KW per 2,000 gallons but I did that in a hurry so I could be off.

    Thats easy - intermeadiate booster pumping stations at every 30/40stories.

    In tall buildings the pressure provided by a municipal
    water system is generally not sufficient to provide adequate
    pressure at the top of the building. As an example,
    municipal water systems typically provide maximum
    pressures in the range of 100 to 150 psi. This translates to
    buildings of 20 to 30 stories. Above this height the building
    will require a water pressure booster system.
