How Do Water Towers Get Painted? VERY Carefully

The scaffolding swayed back and forth Thursday afternoon as two men rolled a fresh coat of primer onto a 750,000 gallon elevated water tank.

Located at 4611 Seven Mile Road, the tower will serve as a water supply source for the Village of Caledonia Utility District within the Oak Creek service area.

The current water tower, which held 100,000 gallons of water, isn’t being used because it’s contaminated with radium. The color of the tower will be the same as the water tower in the industrial park and will display the words Caledonia on it.
