Photos: North Penn Water Authority Raises New Hillcrest Water Tower

On Monday, a contractor with the North Penn Water Authority (NWPA) completed raising the bowl of the new Hillcrest Water Tank in Lansdale.

The water authority replaced the former water tank with the new one in the area of Frederick and Clearspring roads in the Hillcrest section of Lansdale Borough. Replacing the tank is part of a larger infrastructure improvement project in the Hillcrest section of Lansdale that the water authority says will enhance fire protection, public safety and water quality.

Benefits of the new water tank include enhanced fire protection and public safety for the Hillcrest community, redundancies in water service, ensuring residents and businesses will always have access to safe, reliable water, enhanced water quality in the area, and more consistent and reliable water pressure, said the NWPA.

New tank stats at a glance:

 

  • 250,000-gallon Spheroid
  • 140 feet high
  • 44-foot diameter bowl
  • Gravity provides water pressure.
  • Cell antenna equipment less visible.
  • New tank better meets the needs of the community, costs about the same as rehabbing the current tank.
