A 50-year-old water tower in Temple will soon get some needed maintenance.
Design for maintenance on the Apache Elevated Storage Tank was unanimously approved by the Temple City Council Thursday evening. The contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates of Austin will cost the city $149,000 and cover the projectâs design, bidding and construction services.
The Apache storage tank, located at 508 N. Apache Drive, stands 91 feet tall and holds about 500,000 gallons of water.
City officials said the storage tank was built in 1971, and was last rehabilitated by the city in 2005.
âThis is one of many utility projects currently underway in an effort to provide excellent services to our customers,â Cody Weems, spokesman for the city, said. âThe rehabilitation of this storage tank will extend the life of the tank and will allow it to serve residents for years to come.â
