Painting the Water Tower Color Decision
City administrator Dan Elwood explains the water tower will remain white due to contract deadlines and cost. Repainting would require time and money because paint is ordered, tinting would cause delay, and white lasts longer while colors fade and matching old pigment would be difficult. If orange and black or another scheme is chosen, it would wait for warmer weather to allow planning and avoid weather delays.

Tom Harkin Charles Thone, warns farmers would view a no set aside as a signal of low prices and argues a set aside could aid operators despite uncertain effectiveness.
