Beautiful, but is it worth $4, 068,000?


Redmond's $4 Million Dollar Water Tanks
Come back soon to hear "the rest of the story" about these tanks on NE 104th Street.

The mural paintings were probably paid for by a 1% arts fee on the $4M project.  The Arts Department gets to keep 1% of the cost of Public Works projects to install art on site.  The bulk of  the money was spent on seismic reinforcement, three coats of paint, and retrofitting two other water tanks - one behind this one and a smaller one by Perrigo Springs.
