The construction crew ran into unexpectedly hard rock at the tank site last week,so plans are being re-worked to use explosives to help excavate the bench for the new water tank. Garney has assembled the top-notch team of Yenter Construction to do the drilling and blasting under the guidance of Gordon Reavy. By using modern methods for precise blasting, the effort must break hard rock while protecting the existing water tank some 20 feet away. The closest homes and other structures should not feel any movement. Town Staff will put notices up around town and will talk to neighbors. They will also have seismic consultant Sara Nation available for discussion and for documentation of existing conditions and actual blast results.
Schedule:
Week of 28June drilling on site
