Town Of Mount Pleasant: Mount Pleasant Waterworks Elevated Water Tank Scheduled For Demolition In July 2021

Press release from the Town of Mount Pleasant:

June 17, 2021

MPW decommissioned the elevated tank in the 1990’s. Since then, the aging structure has served solely as a location for wireless provider antennas. 

MPW Operations Manager Allan Clum said that the decision to remove the tank was not taken lightly. He stated that the tank is no longer structurally safe for MPW employees to maintain or the wireless carriers to access equipment.

A temporary communications tower will be built at the site to ensure cellular services are not interrupted. The tower will be in place for 120 days as the wireless providers work with the Town of Mount Pleasant to secure a permanent location.

“We encourage everyone who’s interested to swing by to say goodbye in the coming days,” said Clum.
