After towering over Mount Jackson, Virginia on Interstate 81 more than a decade, the town’s well-known water tower, adorned with the image of a basket of apples, was due for a makeover. Exposure to the elements, UV radiation, moisture, salt, and the like, left the tank with rust spots both internally and externally. Mount Jackson’s Town Manager at the time, Kevin Fauber, shared the details of the tower’s design. He stated, “the design of red apples filling a wooden basket is plastered on 3M sheets, similar to vinyl that adhere to the sides of the water tank.”
