Summary

Staff reported the water tank contract was awarded to Lantz of Winchester to construct a new 500,000-gallon tank, improve access, and connect a water main to Miller Lane, with plans to rehabilitate the existing tank after the new one is operational.

Mr. Garrison told the commission the town awarded the water-tank contract to Lantz of Winchester. "This plan is to build one brand new 500,000 gallon storage tank on top of the hill, improve the access road and the water main that connects to Miller Lane," he said, adding that the town plans to rehabilitate the existing tank after the new one is built and that the sequencing produces cost savings. He said dirt had not yet started moving but that construction would begin in the coming months.

The project affects water storage and distribution near Miller Lane and will require coordination with the awarded contractor and a tank maintenance contractor to rehabilitate the old tank. No construction start date or firm contract amount was provided in the meeting record.
