New Water Treatment Filter Operational

Good news! The new water filter has now been running for a week and is ready to go on line as soon as final tests are complete.

Photos show our water plant operators Jim Kleeman and Jack Zielinski test driving the new system to optimize residual chlorine content.

Great to see the sink flowing with good clean water!

New Water Tank Nears Completion

Photos of most recent pour at the Water Tank. Beautiful concrete work belies the difficulty of working at high elevation and dangerous conditions. Garney Construction comes through again!

Tank Construction Continues

Tank construction pace is accelerating as we are now “out of the ground” and finally getting great working weather.

The photo on the left shows Everest Concrete pouring the tank slab base on Tuesday , August 10.

The photo on the right shows the interior tank forms already in place by end of the week on August 13.


It is impressive to see the technology allowing us to pour such high walls, giving us a more solid tank product.

It is easy to see why Garney is considered the one of the best in the business.

Tank Installation Has Begun!

Now that the tank site has been excavated, Garney Construction lost no time in proceeding with concrete work.

The photo on the left was taken on Aug 2 and shows the initial pour for the “mud mat” placed directly on clean, solid bedrock.

The photo below shows the tank slab floor forms placed on the mud mat on August 4.



Many thanks to SMRC Dave Blanchette for guiding the structural nuances of the concrete work and to Kumar and Associates' Greg Demming and Steve Mulligan for regular materials testing including concrete quality control.

Solid as a rock we will be!

Yenter Completes Blasting at Tank Site

Yenter has completed blasting and Garney has hauled most of the excavated material off site, leaving this nice rock bench almost ready for forming our tank foundation. Lots of hard work is paying off!

New Water Filter Arrives!

The Town of Hot Sulphur Springs is the proud new owner of a state-of-the-art Siemens water filter!

In the photo on the left, local crane operator Paul MacDonald (Sky Crane of Granby) helps our Garney team move the filter off the truck and into the new building.







This photo shows the tight fit through the garage-style door (careful now!).













And here are the proud Board of Trustees with their new water filter -- from left to right is ARRA Program Manager Geoff Elliott, Trustee Kathy Knight, Mayor Hershal Deputy, Mayor Pro Tem Lucy Meirose, Trustee Heather Peck, Water Plant Operator Jack Zielinski, and Trustee Bob McVeigh.
