From the city …
The current South Milwaukee Water Tower was built in 1999 and is due for significant exterior and interior rehabilitation work. The surface of the tank will be sandblasted and repainted. The water distribution pumping system has already begun to account for the water tank being out of service.
Residents who experience low water pressure or cloudy water should call the South Milwaukee Water Utility at 414-768-8070. This project is expected to be completed by the end of October.
Of note, the water tower is not being rebuilt, just refurbished. So it will look like what you see below in shape. Sandblasting begins this week.
And I’m told there will be a Rocket logo painted on the side facing Bucyrus Stadium.
Thanks, J&JDoubleTake, for the photo. Beautiful shot, as always.
