REPAIR WORK TO BEGIN ON CONRAD WATER TOWER – Paint Warning
October 25th, 2023 by Joe Burgess
According to Monticello Mayor Jason Akers, another infrastructure repair project is set to begin on October 30.
Work on the Conrad Street water tower will begin, where the overflow system of the tank will be modified to be in compliance with newer Department of Health standards for water storage tanks.
The modifications will be performed and the tank will then be cleaned and painted.
City Water Operators have already placed door placards to make nearby residents and businesses aware that once the painting of the outside of the tank begins, there is a slight chance of overspray should unpredictable winds occur. A small section of Conrad Street will most likely be closed off during some of the process.
In an effort to promote Monticello and UAM, the Mayors office offered for UAM to place a logo on the tank, which is visible from Highway 425. The University leadership enthusiastically accepted and the University created a design for the tank.
“We are proud of our University and we want everyone to know that when they drive through our town. UAM is a part of who we are as a community and we intend to show that”
