(ABC 6 News) – The City of Albert Lea said the next phase will soon resume on the city’s new water tower. Crews will now be sandblasting and painting the water tower, located at the corner of Fountain Street and Newton Avenue. Disinfection and testing will be the final phase before the water tower goes into operation. The City says residents can expect occasional closings of Newton Avenue from Clark to Fountain Street, according to a news release.
The project is expected to be complete in mid-July, weather permitting. The new tower replaces one built in 1938.
