Council reviews McGarity tank rehabilitation plan; estimated cost rises to about $3.397 million
Summary
Public Works Director Jeremy Bogle told the council June 19 that repainting and rehabilitating the 350,000‑gallon McGarity Lane ground storage tank now has a revised probable cost (packet figures) and includes needed vent and manway replacements.
Public Works Director Jeremy Bogle presented specifications and probable costs for repainting and rehabilitating the 350,000‑gallon McGarity Lane ground storage tank. Bogle said the project scope includes inside/outside cleaning, updating items called out in inspection reports and replacing a rusted vent and an undersized manway; staff will schedule the work for winter to reduce impacts on water demand.
Bogle said the original opinion of probable cost was approximately $2,687,320 (packet line), and the revised figure is about $3,397,50 (as presented in the meeting packet). He also described a longer-range option to replace a 200,000‑gallon tank with a 1,000,000‑gallon tank to meet a North Texas eight‑hour storage guideline at buildout. Council members commended the forward-looking planning and confirmed staff will pursue design and bidding steps.
