Really Cool Job
February 25, 2010
A couple of workers had a really cool job Wednesday as they worked to paint a new 118-foot tall water tower as temperatures hovered in the upper 30’s with a strong wind. The new 200,000 gallon tank was constructed next to the Ernest Ward Middle School to provide additional capacity for the 699-connection Walnut Hill Water Works system. It is part of $2.4 million in upgrades. NorthEscambia.com photos, click to enlarge.

The $2.4 million project will include the tank, plus repairs to existing well houses and operating equipment and the replacement and looping of existing lines to increase water pressure.
