The larger of the two water tanks adjacent to the now covered Myrtle Street Reservoir is being renovated. The plastic shrinkwrap applied to the exterior, over scaffolding, was damaged by high winds May 2-3.
The 500,000 gallon water tank on Myrtle Street is under going renovation and the high winds of May 2-3 blew out part of the protective shrink wrap installed to prevent paint from over spraying.
Brian Eng, Project Manager for Seattle Public Utilities said, "I haven't gone out there myself but all I know is that there were three sections that came off last night and they stayed within the project site."
The panels will be reinstalled, "when the weather dies down," Eng said.
The work is being handled by a sub contractor for SPU called Brand.
