For Immediate Release (Oklahoma City, Ok.)

FedEx Delivery To Water Tower |
Contractors were
scheduled to begin work sometime this week re-painting the interior of
the water tower. I had been watching for a photo opportunity for days
expecting to see workers or rigging on the tower. I was surprised Wednesday
instead to see a FedEx delivery of what I assume was the paint and other
materials. Maybe it's not that unusual (deliveries to construction sites,
etc...), but it is the first I've seen to a water tower. The work is being
done by Tank Pro Inc. from Alabama. City officials indicated (Monday)
the tower had been drained for the effort and the standpipe on 97th Street
was supplying water to residents in the meantime. -- Ted Wright (Related Previous Coverage -- May 2003 exterior) |
Several of the All-State games are likely already completed (I know softball was earlier in June) and I don't have a schedule of others except wrestling July 31st at Bixby (7pm). Congratulations to all these outstanding Collinsville Cardinal student athletes. -- Ted Wright 7/5/2013 |
