New water tower goes up in Courtland

(Courtland, MN) – Courtland will look a little different on the horizon to familiar travelers.

A new water tower was put up Monday which will replace the previous tower, built in 1938.

A crane arrived in Courtland yesterday to erect the tower.  The equipment can lift 525 ton and has 12 axels underneath, according to a social media post by the city.

The double towers will stand for the time being while the town fills and tests the new tower.
