The First Half of the Two-Tank Replacement Project is Nearly Complete
Our IDCC Board President, Bill Kirkland, is overseeing the entire project, starting with the delivery of the (very) large new water tank, shown below.
 |
| This is Bill Here, Checking Out the Delivery on the Big Boy |
 |
| This Semi Needed a Rear-End Extension to Fit It All In |
 |
| After Delivery is Confirmed, the Crane is Mobilized |
 |
| Here, the Crane is Removing the Old Tank |
 |
And Places It On the Ground Until the New Tank is Lifted Off the Truck
Those Tanks are Over 30 Years Old and Have About 20 Layers of Paint. X-Ray Scans Required by the St. Lucie Fire Marshal Have Shown that Internal Cracks and Corrosion are Beyond Repair. Both Tanks Have Been "Red Tagged" for Immediate Replacement.
|
The New Tank is Being Removed from the Truck and Placed in a Storage Area Until New Supports are Built and the Old Tank is Placed On the Truck and Hauled Away.
Next Week We Will Begin Building the Supports.

| In Addition to Water Tank Replacement, Siding was Replaced for the Fire Pump House, as shown Here and Below |
