The Commission met Friday, May 28, 2009 in the City Council Chambers. The meeting was called to order at 1:03
p.m.
Wes Haskell, District Engineer with the Bangor Water District presented a proposed project to replace the larger,
existing water storage tank located at 735 Essex Street. Estimated cost is $1.8 million and will be funded by
American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds, consisting of 30% grant and remainder as 0% loan.
There are currently two steel storage tanks at the Essex Street site – 4 million gallons and 2 million gallons. The
project will replace the 4 million gallons tank with a 3.4 million gallons concrete tank along with other improvements
to pumping and recirculation systems. These improvements may allow future removal of the 2 million tank and will
result in significant energy savings. These tanks are also well into their useful life cycle and would otherwise need
to undergo significant repairs and repainting at a cost of $750K on a 20 year cycle.
The Commission asked several questions about the new tank which were addressed as follows:
The new concrete structure will be fabricated and erected onsite. Its footprint will be within that of the existing tank
and will have a slightly increased height of 52’ vs. 49’. Any vegetation disturbance would be onsite and replaced.
The new tank will continue to support installation of short communications antennae as with the existing. No new
post-construction will be generated.
Cindy recommended and Marion seconded.
