THE POST-SIGNAL / Steve Bandy
Work continues on the Lawco water tower being constructed just off U.S. Highway 90 at the end of Odd Fellows Road. The support legs have been installed and workers are assembling the storage tank that will be fitted on top. Water towers not only store water, their height helps provide the pressure that helps fight fires and provide your morning shower. Each foot of height provides 0.43 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure. The water in a 250,000-gallon storage tank weighs 2,086,351 pounds — about the weight of 630 small SUVs.
