WATER TOWERS
BEING RESEARCHED
WATER TOWERS. The start-up for the Fourth Zone Water Tower near the intersection of Kennedy Road and the Northwest Arterial was announced by the Dubuque city council and the City of Dubuque Water Department in November, 2003.
A concrete base, one of a few in Iowa, supports a steel bowl capable of holding 1.2 million gallons of water. The design was projected to save the city thousands of dollars in maintenance. The tower was planned to service the western part of Dubuque along with the INDUSTRIAL PARKS and areas of future growth. The structure cost nearly $1.2 million. (1)
