Rehabilitation of the Hunting Hill water storage tank, located near Lakewood Country Club, is underway.
The city’s contractor, Horizon Brothers Painting Corporation, has begun metal and electrical repairs, and is preparing to paint the inside and outside of the tank. A containment system has been erected outside the tank, at 13890 Glen Mill Road, to protect surrounding property from dust and debris generated by the removal of the exterior coating. Work is expected to be completed by early summer 2017.
Work on a second tank, which is located on Luckett Street, across from Beall Elementary School, is scheduled to begin this summer and take three to six months to complete. The city will hold a meeting with neighborhood residents and school officials about the Luckett Street tank at a date and time to be announced.
The rehabilitation projects include safety upgrades, repairs and/or replacement of the steel roof supports, and interior and exterior work to remove existing paint. The projects will significantly extend the life of the tanks, maintaining the safety and reliability of the city’s water system and resulting in long-term cost savings for city taxpayers.
