(Milan, Ind.) - When you have the basketball history that the Town of Milan has, it is no coincidence that an idea to make a new water tower look like a basketball has come to fruition. 

It was March of 2024 when demolition of an aging 300,000-gallon tank was completed to make way for a new water tower on N. Warpath Drive. 

The new water tower, which reads "Milan Basketball Town USA" is nearly complete. Other updates have been made to water mains, hydrants, valves, and water service lines.

The Southeastern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (SIRPC) says the design will help further brand the Town of Milan by strengthening its identity as a “basketball town”.
