The next two weeks are full of steps that should really start to show progress on the tops of the streets.  Everything so far has been below ground for the most part, so it is sometimes hard to envision.  Again, I want to extend many thank yous to the businesses, residents, and visitors for your patience.  There is never a ‘good’ time to tear up your streets, but the improvement in water quality in town should really be worth it.  All information below is subject to change based on weather, component supply chains, etc.

Water Tower Update:

The water tower is close to paint completions for the main color.  That will finish this week.  There are still a few internal things to fix/install.  The logos should start appearing this week or next.  When all the painting is done and dried, then the tower can be filled and used again.  About 2 weeks of work left give or take.
