A water storage tank in Carawfordsville was among the top 12 finalists selected during the 2022 Tank of the Year competition sponsored by Tnemec Company, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance coatings.

Including a multi-colored logo with various shades of yellow, blue, and green, the tank is the newest landmark in a city known for its museums. 

“The project team used Tnemec’s Series 1075 Endurashield and Series 700 HydroFlon to paint the tank,” said Scott Keilbey, Director of Sales – Water Tanks for Tnemec. “The design commemorates Montgomery County’s establishment in 1822 and will last for many years, bringing even more color to this already vibrant town.”

Other water tanks among the top finalists for 2022 are in Port O’Connor, Texas; Dothan, Alabama; Moorhead, Minnesota; Hackensack, Minnesota; Oconomowoc, Wisconsin; Gentry, Arkansas; Groveland, Florida; St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin; and Pensacola Beach, Florida. 

Over 350 water tanks were nominated with thousands of online votes cast this year from across the U.S. and Canada. Bossier City, Louisiana, was the ultimate winner of the 2022 Tank of the Year competition, selected by a panel of water tank enthusiasts based on criteria such as artistic value, the significance of the tank to the community, and challenges encountered during the project.

“Since 2006, Tnemec has been recognizing municipalities for their aesthetic, creative, and innovative uses of our high-performance coatings on water storage tank projects,” Keilbey added. “This year’s finalists represent several different types of water tanks in various shapes and sizes, all of them impressive for one reason or another.”

This year’s winning Tank of the Year in Bossier City, Louisiana, is a tribute to U.S. troops and first responders. Its bold colors share the message, “We salute our first responders.” The People’s Choice tank is in Valley Center, Kansas, complete with a 3D honeycomb motif voted on by the community.The Tank of the Year will be featured as the month of January in Tnemec’s 2023 water tank calendar. All finalists and nominees will be included in the following months of the calendar.
