WOW! We now have over 120,000 gallons of fresh spring water stored for gravity-fed fire fighting (just in case) and potable uses! After years of planning and engineering and adjustments and permitting and finding a contractor to do the work, the grading of the enlarged tank site finally began in the fall of 2016…
Almost a year after breaking ground, all the tank parts were delivered and the excavation and form setting for the foundation pour happened over the summer and fall of 2017.
