The Sparksville Water tower in the Old Road, redux 2012-03-16 - Sparksville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A few days ago CM had a photo of this view without the 750,000 gallon tank in place. Now that it's up, and painted, this is the same scene. The lettering on the tank "Columbia/Adair County Water District" faces Weed-Sparksville Road. B.J. Fudge, a graduate of Sparksville Elementary School, thinks "Raiders," a memento of the school's fabled athletic achievements, should be on this tank, just as the townie's tank, at Holladay Place, touts the Blue Raiders of Lindsey Wilson College. "Sparksville, KY," might be nice too. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
