The City of Fargo’s new water tower has been honored as the 2025 Tank of the Year by Tnemec Company Inc., a national provider of protective coatings. The annual Tank of the Year contest recognizes the most innovative and creative water tank projects across the United States and Canada.
Fargo’s winning tank stood tall among more than 300 nominations from across North America. A reflection of community pride and artistic vision, the design on Fargo’s tank captured the attention of contest judges and voters. The new water tower replaces three aging towers, holds 2.5 million gallons and is the largest in North Dakota.
“This accomplishment was made possible by an outstanding collaboration of artists, designers, painters, engineers, builders, City staff and community members whose hard work turned this vision into reality,” said Mayor Dr. Tim Mahoney. “Each person’s contribution helped shape what is now an iconic part of Fargo’s skyline.”
