KANNAPOLIS — The City of Kannapolis has a new water tank under construction. It is located at Exit 65 off I-85. When completed, it will be over 200 feet tall and hold over 300,000 gallons of water.

The water in the tank will supply the new Kannapolis Crossing and overlook 85 Industrial Park projects as well as other future developments coming to this area of Kannapolis. It will also allow the city to have additional water supplies in case of fires or other emergencies in the U.S. 29 and Old Beatty Ford Road areas.
