Northeast Radio SD News – Watertown, SD - Watertown Municipal Utilities will begin maintenance work this month on the city’s northwest water tower located at 14th Avenue NW and 4th Street NW.

Contractors will sandblast and repaint the tower as part of the project. A containment curtain will be installed around the structure to capture paint chips and overspray.

Site preparation is scheduled to begin the week of September 7, with full maintenance work starting the week of September 14. The project is expected to take approximately three weeks, weather permitting. Equipment and trucks will be staged along 4th Street NW, and nearby sidewalk access may be temporarily affected.

Water service will remain active throughout the project, though residents may notice minor pressure fluctuations.

For questions, residents can contact Water Superintendent Wayne Lovelis at 605‑882‑6233.
