Construction on a new, 75,000-gallon water tower on Oak Street near Railroad Avenue in
Morgan City is moving forward. The metal “leaves” composing the tank atop the tower now
are being hoisted into place. The tower, which will hold three times as much water as the
previous tower at the same site, is expected to increase water pressure throughout the city,
therefore enhancing firefighting efforts and water capacity during future storm threats or
extended power outages. City consulting engineer Oscar Boudreaux of Environmental Engineers
Consultants in LaPlace said the project is expected to be complete by year’s end. |
