Superintendent of Public Works Chris Remick summarized a condition report from Pittsburgh Tank and Tower and said it identified several critical deficiencies. "The total for everything on their list is $105,000.00," Remick said, but he recommended not all items had to be done immediately and suggested prioritizing replacement of the roof vent and screen.
Remick requested the board place the water‑tower repairs on the next meeting agenda for more formal consideration. Mayor Behnken noted the village currently has no reserves set aside for such maintenance, indicating a potential need to identify funding or phase repairs.
