Keeping the Bontia Springs water tower beautiful for miles to see.
Bonita Springs Utilities, Inc. contracts workers put a fresh coat of paint on the water tower on June 16, 2010. The crew from Tank Rehab, based in Florida, travels the Southeast repainting water towers.
Water towers are a well-used part of a community. However, they are often over looked because they are taken for granted. Even though water towers come in many sizes and shapes, they all do the same exact thing: they supply water to an area. The amazing thing about water towers is that their shape and height are important to the function they perform.
The height of water towers is important because it provides the pressure necessary to furnish water to all the houses and businesses that depend on it. 0.43 pounds per square inch of pressure is provided by each foot of height of the water tower and a typical water tower supply will average between 50 and 100 pounds per square inch of pressure.

This particular tower, with a height of about 150 feet, needs 200 gallons of paint for the whole job!
