Why are these wires on this water tower? What do they do?

Update:

Caught it with the curtain up!

    That’s what this is for. They’ll hang a large curtain around it to keep primer and paint overspray from drifting throughout the neighborhood.

      I doubt that. If the way you’re applying paint means you’re losing so much to the air that you could damage nearby property, you might want to rethink your method. Paint is expensive.

        When spray painting you want to control the wind as it WILL waste a lot of your paint and will interfere with the evenness of the paint application. And prevent outside dust from ruining your fresh paint coat.
