Luling, TX, is known for a few things, notably their unique water towers. To honor their annual “Watermelon Thump,” Phoenix constructed a 500,000-gallon multi-column tank in the likeness of a watermelon. The tank features a green paint scheme overall with the container highlighting the distinctive horizontal stripes and mottling of a watermelon. Phoenix also constructed a 500,000-gallon multi-column tank featuring a man paddling a canoe, a reference to their local paddling trail along the San Marcos River. These two tanks stand proudly over a town with a truly unique taste for water towers.
