Thousands of Chattanoogans see him every day.
Perched atop the Tennessee American Water tank that faces Amnicola Highway, Phillip D. Glass offers a tip of the hardhat along with the message, “Good Morning Chattanooga.”
In 1989, Glass was a way to put a face on the century-old company. His copper-colored bangs sweep across his forehead in a 1980s hairstyle once-again popular with college students today.
But today Glass comes off the tank for the first time since his placement for a much-needed refurbishment.
The water company’s spokesman, Kino Becton, said as part of routine maintenance on the tank workers will repaint the local icon and update his look.
