Deconstruction begins on McCrum Park water tower

Share this story:

More than 60 years after it went up, the McCrum Park water tower in Prairie Village is on its way down.

Crews have begun dismantling the tower, cutting two circular access holes in its north and south sides. On Tuesday, they began scoring the tank with blowtorches, preparing it to be broken down into pieces that can be lowered to the ground and shipped off on a truck.

The park will remain closed until the process is complete.
