New Southside Water Tank Becoming Reality

Fairhope, Alabama thefairhopetimes.blogspot.com 

 

One possible design.

TANK NUMBER SIX

Engineering proposals are being solicited for the design and construction of a new 2 million gallon water tank south of town on Wagoner Road (west of Greeno Road, west of the airport) where a "test" water well was installed earlier this year. 

Property is to be provided to the city by the developers of a large new golf resort community just starting construction there. 

Besides a new production water well, a new water treatment plant will be needed there too, as well as a 24" pipeline to Greeno Rd.

Cost has been estimated at around $6 million; a $2 million federal grant has been applied for.

The city has five tanks now to store water and maintain adequate pressure, especially for fire protection.

Water is a good business to be in. Comes right out of the ground.

I think the Point Clear Golf Club homes will be priced about 3 times as much as DR Horton homes.

You can tell who the profiteers are on here. Nothing off limits to sell and cash in on.

Oh it is just horrible, horrible for some one to make a profit ....

It’s unconscionable to make a profit off ruining a quality of life for local residents. Too much profiting in one area. Profit elsewhere. Re-build Mobile. Lots of blight there.

True. There’s also a big profit in high school dugouts.

How much have YOU invested in Mobile, or is it just other people's money for which you uniquely understand the highest and best use?

I’m poor. Can barely stay afloat. Judging by all the Mercedes and Beemers, there’s plenty of rich folks in Fairhope. Miles and miles of empty stores and blight in Mobile. Take the Mercedes down there and check it out. Spend that family money.

You all are so ridiculous complaining. This has been planned for years. Water tower south will help with water pressure and fire protection. Would help to eventually cross the river and loop the system for Fairhope water Customers and again help for fire protection, water pressure and upgrade water mains for customer that have had water since the 80's.

You forgot the complaint about 1,000’s of more homes in the area. Less fire hazard if less homes. Simple math.
