Some folks in Caledonia may have had a stiff neck last week,
after watching a robotic machine power wash the two large blue water
towers. The city hired Water Tower Cleaning and Coating of Lodi, Wis.
to power wash the towers. Rus Fiene, shown at right, invented the
remote-controlled power washer, which is operatec from the ground. “I’m
scared of heights,” Fiene admitted. He invented the remote-controlled
system several years ago, and now has three crews washing towers all
over the Midwest. It does take one person, Tom Berendes in the photo below
right, to move the support straps around the top of the tower.
Fiene’s company cleans about 800 water towers each year. It
took Fiene and Berendes two days to complete the task.
