Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
Expert coatings and linings for water storage tanks, wastewater treatment facilities, and municipal infrastructure.
MPC offers expert water and wastewater infrastructure coating services across Ohio and throughout the United States. From municipal water towers to wastewater treatment digesters, our specialized coatings extend asset life, protect water quality, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Our interior lining services protect against corrosion, contamination, and the harsh chemical and biological conditions found in water and wastewater environments. Exterior coatings guard against weathering, UV damage, and atmospheric corrosion. We work with municipalities, utilities, and industrial operations of all sizes.

Our Process
Inspection & Assessment
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
Proper surface prep is the foundation of a lasting coating. We blast surfaces to the required SSPC profile to ensure maximum adhesion.
Our SSPC-certified crews apply your coating system in controlled layers, verifying thickness and adhesion at every stage.
We perform a thorough final inspection, provide documentation, and hand off a tank that's ready for years of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All interior lining systems we use for potable water tanks are NSF/ANSI 61 certified, meaning they meet strict health and safety standards for contact with drinking water. We only use approved coating systems that won't leach chemicals into your water supply.
A properly applied water tank coating system typically lasts 15 to 20 years for exterior coatings and 10 to 15 years for interior linings. Lifespan depends on water chemistry, environmental exposure, and maintenance. We recommend regular inspections to maximize coating life.
Yes. MPC has extensive experience with elevated water towers, ground storage tanks, and standpipe tanks. Our team is trained and equipped for high-elevation work, with all necessary safety certifications and fall protection systems.
Absolutely. Many municipalities and organizations want their logo, town name, or custom graphics on their water towers. We can apply custom designs and lettering as part of the exterior coating project.
Wastewater environments involve harsh chemicals, hydrogen sulfide gas, biological activity, and constant moisture — conditions that destroy standard coatings quickly. We use specialized systems like vinyl-ester linings and polyurea coatings that are engineered specifically for these extreme conditions.
All our crews are confined space entry certified and follow strict OSHA protocols. We perform atmospheric testing, establish ventilation, and maintain rescue-ready standby personnel for every interior tank project. Safety is never compromised.
Yes. We regularly work on active facilities, coordinating with plant operators to isolate individual tanks or sections while the rest of the facility continues operating. We plan our work to minimize any disruption to your treatment process.
Project duration depends on tank size, condition, and the lining system selected. A typical municipal clarifier or digester lining project takes 1 to 3 weeks from surface prep to final cure. We provide detailed timelines during the assessment phase.
What Our Clients Say
“Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.”
Matt Drennen
“Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!”
