TESKİ renovates water towers in rural neighborhoods

The Tekirdağ Water and Sewerage Administration (TESKİ) is carrying out comprehensive maintenance, repair, and renovation work on elevated water tanks in rural neighborhoods across the province. These structures, which have been serving for many years and are an important part of the drinking water infrastructure, are being made safer and more efficient. TESKİ teams are systematically renovating tanks that have deteriorated and suffered physical deformation over the years, aiming to put them back into service without any water cuts. By the end of this year, all 28 elevated water tanks are planned to be renewed. This will ensure that residents in rural areas have healthier, uninterrupted, and safer access to drinking and utility water.

The renovation work includes checking the structural load-bearing elements of the elevated water tanks and making necessary reinforcements. Deformations on exterior and reinforced concrete surfaces are being repaired, and waterproofing applications are carried out to increase water tightness. Interior and exterior surfaces are being maintained, and technical arrangements are made to enhance safety. Improvements are also completed around the tanks and connected systems. This not only fixes current faults but also prevents potential future problems, ensuring the tanks serve safely for many more years.

TESKİ's efforts are not limited to solving daily needs; they are part of a holistic approach to prepare Tekirdağ's water infrastructure for the future. By renewing elevated water tanks, which are critical for water supply in rural areas, the aim is to increase efficiency in water transmission and storage processes, prevent possible water losses, and strengthen service continuity. This comprehensive work also represents an important investment in the efficient use of public resources and the preservation of existing infrastructure assets.

Officials state that the work is proceeding in a planned manner and that renovation is carried out without water cuts to avoid inconveniencing residents. With the renewal of the tanks, citizens in rural neighborhoods will benefit more effectively from water services. Moreover, this investment ensures the long-term service quality of the water infrastructure. TESKİ continues similar efforts across the province to improve water services in all neighborhoods.

In conclusion, TESKİ's project to renovate elevated water tanks stands out as an important step for rural development and sustainable water management. These works both extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure and provide citizens with higher quality water services. TESKİ will continue to strengthen Tekirdağ's water infrastructure with similar projects in the future.
