I never thought about the effect of the heat and sun on the water towers. It got me thinking about those things. Anybody here know what the volume capacity of those things is, and how many days it takes to do a 100% turnaround of the water in there.
I was playing Palmer one day and the big tower on Laurel Valley was being painted. Seeing human beings way up there gave it a frame of reference of size and height. Looking up at those people painting it made me woozy. So did the smell of the paint. But it was pretty cool.
