If you looked towards the horizon just after 5 p.m. in Eagan Tuesday, you may have seen a glowing tower near the community center. The illumination was from the official lighting of the city's new telecommunications tower.

The replacement of the old 500,000 gallon Sperry water tower in Eagan with the telecommunications tower is complete. Lighting of the tower after sunset each day will become standard operations for the latest addition to the Eagan skyline.

Demolition of the Sperry water tower began in May. The tower hadn't held water since 2009, according to the city. Construction on the new tower began Oct. 7.
