In an update from Summertown Utility District regarding the Freedom Road tank, the maintenance company has determined that the tank requires immediate repairs and preventative maintenance measures. The decision has been made to take the tank offline to address the recent hole and apply a new interior coating to prevent future leaks.
Commencing on Wednesday, February 21st, the maintenance work on the tank is expected to span approximately 5 weeks. This timeline includes preparing the tank’s interior, applying the new coating, allowing for a two-week drying period, and concluding with refilling and testing of the tank.
During this maintenance period, residents in the vicinity may experience a slight reduction in water pressure. However, the water supply is expected to remain operational without any interruptions. The proactive steps taken by the utility district aim to ensure the long-term functionality and integrity of the Freedom Road tank.
