Demolition of the Town's 56-year-old, 200,000-gallon water tower began Tuesday, September 1st, and the process only lasted several hours.The Tower was completely dismantled by Wednesday, September 2nd.
The new 160' high, 400,000-gallon water tower began serving the community on June 25, 2020, and it will allow the Town to serve our citizens in a way that the old tower could no longer sustain. It will stand tall as a beacon of pride for our Town for the next half a century, if not longer.
In Kill Devil Hills, our waters run deep. . . (Check out the Town's Facebook and Instagram pages for additional images showing the demolition of the water tower. Stay tuned for impressive video content.) |
