Although the Plant City water tower painted like a strawberry at Mike E. Sansone Park won Contemporary Winner in Tnemec’s annual contest, it did not take Tank of the Year.
An American flag-painted tank in Cocoa, Florida took the top honor.
It was chosen out of the top 12 water tanks in the competition. The other top-voted tanks for 2015, including Plant City, were Cedarville, Ohio; Nobleton, Ontario, Canada; Lebanon, Missouri.; Zebulon, North Carolina; North Newton, Kansas; Amboy, Illinois; Oak Grove, Missouri.; Chesterfield, Virginia.; Carrollton, Texas; and Mont Belvieu, Texas.
The finalists were selected from a field of more than 200 water tanks nominated for the competition. The public cast a total of 20,703 votes online. The water tank that received the most votes was the Plant City, with 5,792 votes. The highest-voted classic tank was Pittsfield, Ohio, with 82 votes.
All tanks will be featured in Tnemec’s annual Tank of the Year calendar. You can order your copy on Tnemec’s website.
