Re: OERM Railfest April 24th & 25th

The water tank crew was doing some work last Saturday. The next major parts of the project will be 1) installing the frost box and 2) installing new joists that will support the decking. And probably the supply piping.

After that the work will depend on funding ($$) for decking material and for a replacement tank. The wood from the old tank that we have is short of pieces and has deteriorated ends that would require cutting down the height -- so Paul wants to use new wood that will be bought when the funding is obtained.

It is likely that an interior tank will be installed and connected to a source and to the spout. Paul is talking of setting it up to provide a source for fire trucks if the domestic water supply goes down.
