John Van Hamersveld's DWP Water Tank Mural
Legendary artist and El Segundo High School graduate, John Van Hamersveld, was the natural choice to design and implement the large-scale art project to improve the rusted and paint-peeled water tower at the west entrance to El Segundo. It had long been an eyesore to many residents and visitors when the idea to revitalize the water tower was proposed to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
