Tnemec Company, Inc., a leader in high-performance coatings, recently announced that the water tank in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been voted the People’s Choice Award winner in the 2025 Tank of the Year competition.
This distinguished award automatically places the Cheyenne tank among the top 12 finalists, all of whom will be featured in Tnemec’s annual water tank calendar alongside the overall Tank of the Year winner.
“The Cheyenne water tower mural project is more than just a fresh coat of paint,” says Kevin Morris, director of the water tank market. “It’s a community celebration that brings together history and art, capturing the natural beauty and heritage of the region from 250 years ago. This tower will stand as a lasting tribute not only to Cheyenne’s past but also to the spirit of its community.”
This year, over 300 water tanks were nominated, and around 16,000 online votes were cast from across the U.S. and Canada. A panel of water tank enthusiasts will select the 2025 Tank of the Year winner based on artistic value, community significance and project challenges. The winner will be announced later this month.
"Since 2006, Tnemec has been recognizing municipalities for their aesthetic, creative and innovative uses of our high-performance coatings on water storage tank projects," says Morris. "This year’s finalists showcase a remarkable variety of water tanks in diverse shapes and sizes, each notable for its unique qualities and the stories they tell about their communities."
The 2025 Tank of the Year will be featured in January in Tnemec’s 2025 water tank calendar, with all finalists and nominees highlighted in subsequent months. For more information on Tank of the Year and to request a 2026 Tank of the Year calendar, visit tankoftheyear.com.
