This rendering shows the paint plan for the new raised water tank on Cleveland’s northwest side.
With construction of the new Northside Elementary Campus in Cleveland ISD well advanced, a new elevated water tank will be installed and completed in time for the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year.
At the regular meeting of Cleveland City Council on Tuesday, November 16, the City Council made the bid for the new 500,000 gallon tank to Phoenix Fabricators. The Indiana-based company, with more than 30 years of experience building water tanks and building more than 5,000 water towers in the United States, won $ 1.95 million.
Funding for the tank comes from a municipal loan, which also provides for significant infrastructure improvements across the city and the construction of a new fire station in the Grand Oaks Reserve community on the east side.
While the other offer was lower at $ 1.473 million, the council picked Phoenix as it was viewed as the best for the city’s project. If construction of the elevated water tank is completed by July 31, the company will receive an additional payment of approximately $ 85,000 as part of its overall offering.
The elevated tank was designed to provide adequate water pressure for the new school campus, as well as for homes and businesses in the Tanglewood area to the northwest of the city. The tank will also provide some redundancy in the city’s water system in case repairs need to be made to the city’s other two elevated tanks.
Since the new elevated water tower will have good visibility, the city has chosen to have the Cleveland ISD logo on the east side and the City logo on the west side.
A start date for the construction of the project will be set in the coming days.
