Informational Meeting
An informational meeting was held Jan-30 at Germantown Baptist Church to review the city's already approved elevated water tower project planned for Johnson Road Park. The planned tower will be adjacent to the existing water treatment plant near the northeast edge of the soccer fields. Current plans call for the tower to be 180 feet high (about the same hieght as the GBC steeple) and have a base of 50 feet in diameter. About 45 people attended tonight's session and no one spoke in favor of an elevated tower to address the city's water volume and pressure challenges. Bo Mills, city Director of Public Services, and Patrick Lawton, city adminstrator, committed to posting tonight's presentation and additional study details on the city's website on Tue-Jan-31. Also attending tonight's meeting were Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy and Aldermen John Drinnon and Mike Palazzolo.
