Most of these photos show an example of the Authority’s water storage tank maintenance program; specifically, the exterior painting of the Penn Warner elevated water storage tank. Another photo shows toilet tank dye tablets used to detect toilet tank flapper leaks – one of the most common causes of residential water waste and unnecessary expense. These tablets are available free-of-charge from the Authority.

The Authority maintains four water storage tanks – three elevated (high in the sky} and one standpipe on the ground. During the fall of 2019 the Authority’s water tank maintenance contractor, Southern Corrosion, Inc., focused its attention on painting the exterior of the Authority’s highest elevated tank – the Penn Warner Tank off of Tyburn Rd. The photos show:
