Background Information:
The Blanco Vista Elevated Storage Tank (EST) project has reached a key decision point regarding the aesthetic design and potential branding on the structure. Discussions between SMTX Utilities, the Engineering and Capital Improvement team, and the Communications and IGR Department have identified the opportunity for City Council input on the tank's exterior design, including options for a simple, elaborate, or potentially branded logo reflective of the City's identity. This project aims to align with community expectations and enhance local visibility, with a decision from Council anticipated to guide the final design direction.
