Edson Water Tower

Costs to repair structural issues on the 1931 Water Tower and the Concrete Reservoir plus the poor aesthetics and safety issues were the deciding point in the Town’s decision to have the structures demolished and turned the grounds to a new park space.

Scope of Water Tower Demolition:

24’ diameter x 20’ high steel tank
94’ high steel frame supporting the tank
4’ x 4’ concrete foundations at the bottom of each of the tower legs
Wood frame building at the base of the tower

MSDL was able to provide the Town with pieces of the Tower for preservation with the Town’s Historical Society.
