The Division of Water is responsible for providing quality water for consumer use and adequate volume for fire protection. There are currently 38 water tanks in the distribution system and 26 of them are maintained by the City of Columbus, Division of Water. This project provides painting improvements for the maintenance of a steel elevated water storage tank. Regular maintenance inspections have determined that the North District East tank exterior needs to be blasted and recoated at this time. The interior wet and dry area coating systems also need to be blasted and recoated. The project will include various safety improvements such as fall protection tie-off lugs on the roof and a rooftop handrail opening safety gate. These improvements will keep this tank in optimal condition and prolong its service life.

In addition to the above work, milling and resurfacing of the Asphalt driveway/parking area for the North District tanks parcel is included as a part of this contract along with the task to overcoat the Smoky Row - East Tank exterior roof and the painting of the ladder platform of the Westgate - West Tank.
The Community Planning Areas are: 39 - Clintonville; 31 - Far Northwest; 53 - Greater Hilltop.
