City presentation now available
Tuesday afternoon, the City posted on its website the presentation from Monday night's informational.
It can be viewed directly at this link http://www.ci.germantown.tn.us/water_tank.pdf
This material covers the background and need for additional water volume and pressure, includes a very brief ( and I believe inadequate) summary of above vs below ground alternatives, location plan and COLOR PICTURES of the proposed tank from multiple views in the surrounding neighborhoods - including
- Devonshire Way
- Fox Hill Circle
- Forest Hill Lane
- Poplar Ave (Fillin' Station)
- Johnson Road Park
- Poplar Grace Lane
- Oakhurst Cove
The City is pushing forward with the project schedule and intends to bid and award the construction contract in May-June 2006 and commence construction in July 2006.
Local citizens opposed to this schedule and proposed elevated solution are organizing in Committee to compel the City to conduct an independent study and more fully consider viable state-of-the-art ground level pumping stations.
