The water tank stood tall. It had served the people well. But time had worn it down. Rust crept in. The wind and salt tried to break it. So, California American Water stepped in. They fixed it. They made it strong again.
In Monterey, California, a water tank holds 80,000 gallons. That’s a lot of water. It keeps homes, schools, and businesses running. But even the strongest tanks need care. California American Water spent $560,000 to rebuild it.
What did they do?
- New coatings inside and out to stop rust.
- A new ladder and handrails for safety.
- Better pipes to meet modern standards.
- Stronger foundation to survive earthquakes.
- Deep cleaning to keep the water pure.
They thought of everything. Now, the tank is better than ever.
