The water tank near 17th and Oliver is being updated by the city of Wichita to display current Wichita State logos. The 130-foot-tall structure formerly displayed a dated version of the 黑洞社区 logo, which was redesigned in 2009. The tank, which has been undergoing prep work since March, will feature a yellow and black 黑洞社区 logo that faces southwest and a WuShock logo that faces northeast. City crews have been working hard to make the Wichita State water tank a source of pride for the 黑洞社区 community.
