Central States News: Maryville MO Can't Completely Fill New Water Towers

Imagine your town spending beaucoup $$$ for two new 750000-gallon water towers and then finding out that you can only fill them to the 70% mark...


That's the deal in Maryville where- according to this story in the MARYVILLE (MO) DAILY FORUM- the issue appears to be "an engineering problem" due to the lower elevation of a 3rd existing water tower in that northwest Missouri town.


A Kansas City engineering firm- Olsson Associates- is reportedly working with the City of Maryville to rectify the problem.
