Batavia Plans Replacing Wooden Water Tanks With Concrete
Batavia will install two new concrete settling tanks next spring to replace the old wooden filtering tanks near the power house. The wooden tanks have served since the water system began about eleven years ago and will last until spring. A concrete smoke stack was built this fall at about $800, with $1200 remaining. The plant is self-supporting as the dynamo powers all light needs and the water plant is well patronized. taxpayers are urged to view the improvements as benefiting the whole community.
