HERCULANEUM, Mo. — The Herculaneum Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Nov. 20 to enter into agreements with Utility Service Co. Inc to renovate and then maintain the McNutt Street and Joachim Avenue water towers. The city already has a maintenance plan with the same company for the water tower on Scenic Drive.
It will cost $616,376 to renovate the McNutt tower and $423,328 for the Joachim tower, with payments for each project spread out over three years, City Administrator Jim Kasten said.
After those three years of payments, yearly maintenance costs will be $24,829 for the McNutt tower and $24,144 for the tower on Joachim, he said.
The city already pays a $19,125 yearly maintenance fee for the Scenic tower, Kasten said.
He said the McNutt and Joachim towers are approximately 20 years old and need a lot of refurbishing before they go on a regular yearly maintenance plan.
