Community Project Funding Requests
Waseca 1.0 million Gallon Water Tower
Location: 508 S. State Street, Waseca, MN 56093
Project Sponsor: City of Waseca
Requested Amount: $3,000,000
Use of Funds and Justification:
The funding would be used for the demolition of existing buildings and construction of a 1-million-gallon water tower.
The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the water tower will provide the water storage and pressure head needed to meet current and projected peak demands, greatly enhance fire protection, improve system operations and reliability, and decrease operation and maintenance costs for the city’s inflow system in order to reduce infiltration, improve public health, and provide clean water.
