Painting a Water Tower in San Antonio TX

This video isn't about how the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) pumps, treats and delivers clean drinking water to the millions of people in the area. It is about chronicling the progress of a contractor who was apparently hired to repaint this 185 ft tall structure. I included a photo of the SAWS project sign, with the total project dollar cost shown, near the end of the video. Back in May 2020, I started a series of videos called "flying in circles" around water towers in the area. I've collected videos and photos from around 30 water tower sites so far this summer. But one of the first water towers that I flew around, was a huge, ancient water tower in the Medical Center area of NW San Antonio, just off Fredericksburg Road. This big white water tower looms over the nearby hospital complexes, storing over 1 million gallons of water to supply at the proper pressure. My thanks to various folks with SAWS and the contractor who answered my curiosity and perhaps pesky questions about how long a project like this takes, how much paint did it use, and other topics. This video was done for the fun of it, over 4 months, visiting the site usually at least twice a week to see if there was anything worth flying around the tower again for. Such flights were typically less than 15 minutes long and I never flew above 200 feet since there were at least 2 active heliports at nearby hospitals. Each drone flight was filed with the LAANC automated authorization system in advance. I was amazed while watching these workers up on top of this tower, acting like they were still down on the ground. They all had safety harnesses on while on top, except for when they were in the railed off area on the very top where they couldn't fall. They did a great job repainting this tower and it now looks much better than it did before. I learned that these size tanks can take up to 4 months to paint, with much of that time spent rigging up the safety equipment, such as the paint shroud and lifting gear for both equipment and personnel. I don't know how many gallons of primer paint was used, but they used 180 gallons of the blue overcoat paint, so they likely used more than 100 gallons of primer paint as well.

I do like to get suggestions from folks that want to see different types of aerial photography / videos from areas they might not be able to access from the ground. I tend to avoid flying in residential neighborhoods because there are too many folks who see a drone and think it is spying on them. I'm not sure what they think would be that interesting, or how a relatively noisy drone could sneak up on anyone. I flew the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone for this video, recording in 4K / 30fps.
