In 2010, the Langford Water Association’s 60,000-gallon elevated Le Bourgeois water tank was suffering from moderate mechanical failures, needed several safety improvements and rust was beginning to spread in critical areas where the paint had failed. Inside the tank, the water level indicator was broken and significant grease/sludge buildup was occurring. The Association hired WGK to design a project to sandblast and recoat the interior and exterior of the tank and perform needed equipment replacements to make the structure compliant with health department regulations.
