Berlin’s Route 346 water tower went back on line on Nov. 23 after all routine maintenance, painting, water sampling and testing was completed.

(Dec. 10, 2020) Berlin’s Route 346 water tower went back online on Nov. 23 after all maintenance, painting, water sampling and testing was completed, said Town Administrator Jeff Fleetwood.

Painting was completed on the interior and exterior of the water tower on Nov. 9 but had to cure. Fleetwood added that the “Berlin” lettering was blue and has been restored to its original black paint.

He said the other necessary maintenance included a full inspection of all supports and seams.

There were no complications during the process of conducting maintenance and putting the water tower back on line.

The Water Division of Berlin’s Water Resources Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of infrastructure, treatment and the water towers throughout the town.
