Hertford will proceed
with water tank repairs
HERTFORD ? Town council
members agreed on Monday to pro
ceed with repairs on two water
storage tanks in the town.
The water storage tanks must be
cleaned and painted on a routine
basis. A inspection in 1985 was con
ducted on the tanks, and the council
asked Mayor Bill Cox to have the
tanks inspected once again to de
termine what work needs to be
done.
The cost of the work is estimated
at $35,000, and Cox said money is
available in the budget.
"We want to do the work during
January, February and March be
cause water consumption during
the winter months is less than at
any other time of the year," Cox
said.

Cox informed council members
that the Department of Transporta
tion has agreed to conduct a traffic
survey at the intersection of
Church Street Extended and the
U.S. Highway 17 Bypass to deter
mine if there is a need for a traffic
light.
