UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – With most of the below ground work complete on the new Union City water tower, work began last week on the above ground structure.
Phoenix Fabricators is completing the work on the 150,000 gallon tank to replace the 75,000 gallon tank put up by Chicago Iron Works back in 1923.
Village Manager Chris Mathis says the new tower at the corner of Dirks Drive and Goodwin Drive is being built to satisfy the growing water needs of the Village, which has outgrown the aging tower which is scheduled to come down next year.
United State Department of Agricultural Rural Development assisted the Village with funding for the project.
