A Minute with the Mayor

Tuesday, July 11th, 2023

Quality WATER is the PRIORITY

As the Mayor’s Office continues efforts to address and improve Monticello’s infrastructure and water system, a recent inspection of one of the cities towers was ordered and performed.

Inspections of towers examine the tower for a wide range of reasons. Ranging from rust spots and holes that could allow contaminants into water stored in the tower to structural integrity issues.

“We are committed to improving the quality and performance of our water supply chain. Whether it is stored water in a tower or at the wastewater plants, every link in that chain is vital. It must be modernized, maintained and our top priority”

A photo was taken of the inspector as he is seen manually climbing the water tower.
