Craig P. discussed some alternatives for tank siting for our replacement tank, as<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">well as options for dimensions and materials. The board agreed to take his<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">recommendations under advisement. The board asked that both bolted and welded<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">steel tanks be sent for quotes, so that the board would be able to make an informed<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">decision regarding the preferred materials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">ii. Craig suggested that it would be substantially faster and cheaper to try and repair<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">our problem fire hydrants outside of the scope of our upgrade project.
