ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) - A new $4 million water tank in Rock hill will be designed to both supply drinking water and also attract visitors.

The Herald of Rock Hill reports (https://bit.ly/1n2l5af ) city leaders plan to put colored LED lights on the 750,000-gallon tank and build both a brick fence around it and a visitor parking lot.

City Manager David Vehaun says it will be the kind of thing that people will show friends and neighbors when they visit Rock Hill.



Most of the money for the tank will come from a state program the helps municipalities with utility improvements.

But some of the money - the almost $300,000 for the lights - will come from hospitality tax money. That money is used for projects that help attract visitors.
