A spelling mistake on a Wisconsin water tower has given its residents a good laugh.
The Village of Plover had its water tower repainted last week, but the spelling error left the town with a new name, Village of Plvoer.
WGN 9, the crews responsible for the paint job accidentally made the spelling error on both the stencil and the water tower paint job. Thank you to the painters. Your human error and work mistake has gone public, but PLEASE don t be down on yourself. You have brought our community such JOY! (& creativity!)

“New paint job on the Plvoer water tower looks great,” joked one Twitter user.
“Can’t wait to move to Plvoer, Wisconsin this weekend!” said another.
At least one enterprising individual also started making shirts with the phrase “Lvoe Plvoer” in response, with proceeds going to a local Boys & Girls club in “Plvoer,” she said.
The blunder happened while the water tower was being repainted on Thursday, according to Village Administrator Dan Mahoney. Crews began painting over the mistake the same day, and were expected to finish Friday, he told the Stevens Point Journal.
Plover, meanwhile, is not the only Wisconsin municipality to have a mishap regarding a water tower, as Sussex had one in 2017 when workers painted over the “SUS” and left the rest of the tower which read “SEX” until the following day.
