BREVARD COUNTY COCOA, FLORIDA — Mayor Henry Parrish is asking that everyone show their patriotism by flying flags at your home as the city of Cocoa starts the unveiling process of the newly re-painted elevated water tank which features three American flags painted across the surface.

CITY-OF-COCOA-SEAL-FULLThe elevated tank is undergoing resurfacing and painting which started in the Fall of 2014.

The tarp and scaffolding is set to come down Spring 2015 with the project completion in early summer 2015.

The newly painted tower will continue to have the American flags surrounding the tank with the words Cocoa, Florida in between each flag.

The new flags will be a bit smaller than what was previously on the tank to make them more to scale.

A community ribbon cutting will be scheduled once the project is complete to officially unveil one of Cocoa’s most iconic structures.

Mayor Parrish is asking everyone to join him in posting the American flag in front of your homes and businesses, if you don’t already have it flying proudly, alongside the almost 25 foot high flags that are proudly painted on Cocoa’s iconic structure.

The tarps and scaffolding will begin to come down in April revealing the flags and newly painted tower.
