Will repairs to the water tank at 1622 West Carroll Avenue include removing the tags?
Yesterday, we looked at the scaffolding around the water tank at the Salvation Army Thrift Store in River West. And now, news of another tank that’s being repaired instead of removed: 1622 West Carroll Avenue in West Town. The City of Chicago issued a permit for repairs on June 1.
The general contractor tasked with this unique fixer-upper is Karl Natschke Construction of Woodstock, IL. And this being a water tank, it seems appropriate to point out the plumbing contractor as well: Discovery Plumbing & Heating, of Lansing, IL. Thanks to those two contractors, and to Sassafras Enterprises, the owners of the building, for saving another Chicago Water Tank.

I am the president at Acorn Loft at the west loop. I am confronted with whether to have our water tower removed or repaired. I need advise on the pros and cons of preserving and making the repairs over removing it.
Can anyone provide advice on this?
