Water tower supporters want tank on historic registry
A water tower no longer in use will sit dormant for another at least six months.
City officials voted to defer taking any action on a plan to preserve or demolish a now defunct, 75,000 gallon water tower in Old Town Manassas, next to a city fire station on Quarry Street.
The cost to maintain the 100-year-old steel tank cold cost the city upward of $200,000, according to city documents. Some of the costs include painting the tower every 10 to 15 years and inspecting it every five years. It would cost $40,000 to demolish it, according to the same documents.
