Sparksville Elevated Water Tower: Steel bowl fabrication stage



2012-01-25 - Weed-Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
Workmen for Caldwell Tank Company of Louisville, KY were busy at just before 5pmCT, Wednesday, January 25, 2012, fabricating the 750,000 gallon steel bowl which will be raised to the top of the structure, secured into place, and then have to be steel capped. When completed, the tower will serve most of the southern half of Adair County and will replace three stand pipes. Besides providing clean water to homes and businesses, the tank will assure adequate pressure to add fire hydrants for fire protection, and the capacity will allow exportation of surplus water. The work is part of an accelerated infrastructure expansion and replacement by the Columbia/Adair County Utilities District at the most opportune time: When grants and low cost loans were available allowing CAUD to build at a time when a lull in the construction industry created a buyer's market for construction.
