Reference: Hilltop Water Tank
Dear Mike:
Most recently, I received a few calls from Councilman Joseph Paoloni regarding the above
referenced water storage facility. He has received a call from a neighboring resident, Mr.
Dave Harvatin, who has noticed that the tank has exhibited an increasing amount of
exterior rust lately.
Mr. Harvatin's and Mr. Paoloni's concern is that the tank could possible faU prior to the
improvements in 99-2R being completed. I have advised Mr. Paoloni this could take
approximately three (3) years to accomplish, and that the new tank must be fully
constructed prior to the old tank being taken down and serviced.
With that in mind, I think it might be a good idea to make a visual external inspection of
the tank to determine if anything has changed since our last inspection (approximately 1 8
months ago). Also, I think it would be appropriate to get a proposal from Underwater
Solutions to send a diver down in the tank to make a report. This inspection report should
be based on the assumption that this tank will need to last another three (3) years without
any internal work being performed. With that report in hand, we could better advise the
Board of the viability of the tank for this interim time.
If you could get the proposal from Underwater Solutions, I could present it at the
December 26th, 2000 Board meeting to see which direction they wish us to take.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
