Community celebrates historic tower dedication

This article was published on 10.18.18

The volunteers at Chico Heritage Association advocated for the preservation of the historic, decommissioned water towers on East Third and Orient streets after Cal Water announced last year that they would be torn down for safety concerns. On Monday (Oct. 15), the CHA folks and Cal Water reps joined community members to celebrate the permanent residency of the century-old water tanks at Cal Water’s “An Evening Under the Towers.”
