Mayor announces progress on East End water tower project and long-term improvements

St. Albans is set to enhance its water infrastructure with the commencement of a new water tower project in the East End of town. Mayor Scott James confirmed that construction is already underway, with the new tank being installed above City Park Shelter 1. This project is crucial for ensuring a reliable water supply to the East End, particularly in emergencies when water shortages may occur.

The water tower is being developed by an external company, while local business Benchmark, owned by St. Albans resident Timmy Spradling, is responsible for laying the necessary water lines from the new tank to Canal Terrace. This collaboration highlights the city's commitment to utilizing local resources for community improvements.

Moreover, the water tower is part of a broader eight-year plan aimed at upgrading the city's water and sewer facilities. This long-term initiative includes replacing outdated water lines and enhancing the overall efficiency of the water plant. These improvements are expected to significantly benefit residents by providing a more reliable water supply and better infrastructure.

As the project progresses, the city remains focused on ensuring that these upgrades meet the needs of the community, reinforcing St. Albans' dedication to sustainable development and public service.
