12 September. The project begins. Along Detroit Avenue, this Ohio City water tower was scheduled to be a
canvass for an international painter. First, one would think the scum
would be removed in a thorough cleaning. The water department calls this a surge tank for the pumping station, if a severe drop of water pressure occurs, the water in this will drop, so that the pipes would not collapse.
12 September. Later in the day, and from a different angle, some of the rods are up. Ever see a very high shutter speed photo of a drop of water making a concussion? This almost looks like the corona crater beneath the rebounded drop. This tower has looked dirty for some time.
14 September. Notice the parasol, and all the
guide ropes.
15 September. The tower shrouded in a curtain. Under cover, there will be a cleaning, perhaps sand blasting. I read that a blue coat of paint will be applied. [foto by John Z]
