WATER STORAGE

Kandiyohi's 30,000-gallon elevated tower was initially constructed in the early 1940's. This tower is thus well-beyond its serviceable life. A recent inspection report identified numerous deficiencies related to structural integrity, security, and safety of the tank itself. Moreover, the towers high-water level provide inadequate static pressure that is well below recommended working pressure. Finally, the tower's storage capacity is inadequate for current needs and leaves no room for projected population growth.  

The City of Kandiyohi is therefore seeking $1,812,000 to construct a new 75,000-gallon water storage tower.
