Tower Tenant Updates Telecom Tech – Park Rapids Enterprise

Rumors that the Hatch Avenue water tower was being repaired, cleaned or repainted on Oct. 11 are greatly exaggerated.

Equipment and people seen on and around the Hatch Avenue water tower on Oct. 11, 2022 were there to replace cellular equipment for a company that rents space on the tower, according to city personnel.

Inquiring minds wanted to know what was going on last Tuesday, Oct. 11, when a crane was operating next to Park Rapids’ Hatch Avenue water tower, and people were seen walking on top of the water tank.

City Administrator Angel Weasner confirmed Friday that this was unrelated to the city’s water service. Instead, she said, a company that rents space on the tower was replacing three pieces of cellular communications equipment.

Further details will be forthcoming, pending a media release from the city of Park Rapids.
