They're going to be raising the top of the new water tower at Mueller. They probably won't be able to do it until the weather improves since we have better rain chances tomorrow and Friday. The tower will be 170 feet tall. They've already built the shaft, now they have to jack the top into place using jack stands and cables on the top. It'll be fairly noticeable around town. I've already seen the shaft from St. Ed's in South Austin. The tower will have solar panels on top.

More info including a comment that buildings at Mueller may approach 120 feet tall.
