The City has contracted with Kokosing to complete the water tower construction. Crews will begin construction in spring 2026.
The City of Toledo plans to construct a new water tower at Schneider Soccer Complex beginning in 2026. This project is part of a broader effort to improve water pressure, increasy system reliability, and transition the city's water distribution into two pressure zones.

This location was selected because:
- it is near a 30 in. watermain
- coordination with existing park infrastructure and planning
This location also creates an opportunity for the towers to serve as a recognizable landmark within a well-used community space.
Tower Design
The project includes one elevated water storage tank.
- Capacity: 2 million gallons
- Height: approximately 160 feet
- Diameter: approximately 56 feet
Construction and Park Access
Construction is expected to take place between 2026 and 2028.
Important things to know:
- park will remain open whenever possible
- there will be periods of construction noise
Construction hours are typically 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The City and contractors will work to minimize ipacts to the surrounding area as much as possible.
