Keep in mind that the water towers aren’t for drinking, so ants don’t necessarily “use” them. They are for maintaining humidity. Plus, ants always do the opposite of what you want them to (they’re version of Murphy’s law= Myrmy’s law).

You shouldn't worry too much about that, the ants usually know what's best for the brood.
