One of two Ada water towers - the one with Wilson's logo - will be repaired and repainted  this summer.

Council approved a bid of $208,000 from LC United Painting of Sterling Heights, Mich., to do the work.

Wilson's will pay the cost of having their lettering on the 100,000-gallon tank tower, as before.
