NEWTON, Kan. — The old First Street water tank is coming down! The 3.8 million-gallon tank, which was built in 1939, was severely deteriorated and had to be replaced.

A new 1.9 million-gallon tank was constructed just south along the creek and brought into service earlier this year.

Once the old tank is gone, work will begin to construct a second new 1.9 million-gallon tank on the site.
