I'm surprised I haven't seen anything posted here about this. I have seen several photos posted on Instagram showing recent work done to rebuild the tank at Lava, CO.

They replaced the roof, the interior has been repaired, they even hung a spout back on it. It is said that it will be sand blasted and painted in the spring, and that it will be operational for next season.

Anyone have more details?
