The big battle over whether to paint Platte City’s water tower tan or orange ended Monday night with a split vote of 4-2 for orange by the Board of Alderman. Students at Platte County R-3 High School got up a petition asking that the tower remain orange, the color of the R-3 Pirates. Students appeared before the alderman earlier and argued their cause. Sonny Hill Motors offered to help pay the extra cost of painting the tower orange.


Enhanced 911 Emergency Telephone Service for residents of Ferrelview, Platte City, and Weston went into effect at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 17.
