' e ‘Task 1: Engineering Study and Report o Weare continuing to confirm the goals and concerns of the Village as the project progresses. o We have gathered a considerable number of existing reports, drawings and records from various sources with Mark Burr and the Village water staff being a tremendous resource. All documents received have been digitized and organized electronically for the Village’s use when the project is completed. * Note thatno drawings for the 1.7 million gallon finished storage tank have been found at this time, the tank was built in 1936.
