Rehab of main reservoir OK'd
HANCOCK - During a Hancock Town Council meeting Wednesday night, the council passed a motion to begin rehabilitation of the town's main reservoir.
The 500,000-gallon reservoir dates to the 1930s. It's a concrete structure and is pillar-supported, Town Manager David Smith said.
The project is estimated to cost about $150,000, which is about one-tenth of the cost of building a new reservoir, Smith said.
