Tank provides backup water supply for growing community
Article Abstract:
Elverson Water Company of Elverson, PA, has developed a municipal water supply system for the town. The new company drilled four wells about one mile apart and installed a 50,000-gallon tank. However, the water tank did not provide sufficient storage capacity because it can put out only 45,000 gallons of water day. To solve the problem, Elversion Water secured a property to build a 500,000-gallon tank to furnish a 10-day backup. Fisher Tank supplied that storage tank which measured 36 ft in diameter and 45 feet in height.

Hot dip galvanizing protects plant from corrosion for decades
Article Abstract:
Aspinwall Water Treatment Plant's use of steel immersed in molten zinc for its support structure has helped its clarifier facility endure over time. The Pittsburgh, PA-based water treatment facility, which was built in April 1989, was inspected by the American Galvanizers Association in October 1997. The results revealed an average zinc coating thickness of 5.0 mils, well over the ASTM minimum required thickness of 3.9 mils and an indication that the facility should endure for the next five decades without maintenance.
