“In 2022, Dixon Engineering inspected the 50,000-gallon cone roof water tower, identifying significant coating failures such as rust bleed-through, micro-cracking and topcoat delamination,” Leddin said.
The estimated cost for repainting is $826,000, and a $250,000 state grant has been secured. The Frankfort Area Historical Society also raised $65,000 through the “Save the Water Tower” campaign.
