Clayton Water tower repainted Picture taken July 22nd 2011

This post was made to cover what made big news this week throughout town! The Clayton water tower which towers high above our town was repainted this week. The tower used to be a light blue color with darker blue lettering which is the way it looked the entire time I was growing up. It has been repainted very bright yellow/gold with the words “Clayton Bears” in purple lettering to represent Clayton School colors!

It was very interesting to watch the tower be repainted, One thing many residents noticed was how fast the job got done, it was so fast some people did not even notice the work being done! The First day, a latter was installed to the top of the tower which is what is seen in the picture above. The second day the old blue lettering that said “Clayton Bears” was removed, and finally in the last couple days the tower was painted yellow then the words re added in new color.

After the job was done, many were wowed be the new color and while at the bank I saw many people stopping and getting out of the cars just to get a closer look. A good ending sentence to this post is the new colors certainly made a permanent change the the skies of Clayton, and many like to new colors as it is much more interesting and stands out very well, This will be especially true in Winter!
