The City of Hamilton is actively advancing several improvements to its water system this year. Recently, the city completed one of these critical upgrades by sandblasting and repainting its Clear Well Storage Tank. This storage tank plays a vital role in holding the water purchased from the Upper Leon River Municipal Water District. Maintaining this infrastructure is essential to ensuring a reliable and safe drinking water supply. This is an important step in the City’s ongoing commitment to protecting public health.
