A municipal water tank in Grand Prairie, Texas, is this year’s winner of the Tank of the Year competition presented by Tnemec Company, Inc. A panel of water tank enthusiasts selected the water tank based on criteria such as artistic value, the significance of the tank to the community, and challenges encountered during the project.
As the 2024 contest winner, the tank will appear in the most prominent position in Tnemec's annual Tank of the Year calendar alongside the other top finalists.
The winning tank was painted with Tnemec’s UV-resistant, long-lasting fluoropolymer finish, Series 700 HydroFlon, which will provide long-term color and gloss protection to the tank's intricate design for years to come.
"Once again, we here at Tnemec were overwhelmed by the number of entries in this year's Tank of the Year contest,” said Brian Cheshire, director of sales for the water tank market. “As has been the case in recent years, the entrants in the 2024 campaign highlighted the creativity and ingenuity of our customers. Towns and cities all over the United States and Canada were able to utilize these structures not only for their functionality within their water infrastructure but also as a showcase for their local communities."
This year’s winning tank stands tall in Grand Prairie, Texas. This newly built water tank features a stunning three-part mural by renowned artist Eric Henn. The images depict local attractions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area: horse racing at Lone Star Park, Joe Pool Lake, and amusement center Epic Central. Located prominently right off Highway 161, this water tank serves as both a functional and artistic centerpiece in the city.
More than 320 water tanks were nominated, and over 17,000 online “People’s Choice” votes were cast this year from across the U.S. and Canada. College Station, Texas, was the winner of the People’s Choice competition, with a design that pays homage to the university and surrounding community.
“Since 2006, Tnemec has been recognizing municipalities for their aesthetic, creative, and innovative uses of our high-performance coatings on water storage tank projects,” Cheshire added. “This year’s finalists represent several different types of water tanks in various shapes and sizes, all of them impressive for one reason or another.”
The Tank of the Year will be featured as the month of January in Tnemec’s 2025 water tank calendar. All finalists and nominees will be included in the following calendar months.
