PIONEER WATER TANK COMING DOWN

Pio­neer Coun­cil, at their meet­ing Tues­day night, approved demo­li­tion of the old water tower.

Coun­cil mem­bers said to have the old tower painted and sealed would cost more than demo­li­tion.

The Bryan Times reports that coun­cil approved Rural Water Ser­vices Stor­age LLC of Cam­den, Ohio to demol­ish the tank at a cost of $19,000. Other bids received were from Gate­way Tank, Inc. of Avon for $22,500 and Kessler Tank of Fre­mont at $27,000.

A pro­fes­sional pho­tog­ra­pher will be hired to take pic­tures of the old tank before it’s gone forever.
