Tank project hits a bump
An error in surveying measurements brought construction of the new Barnett water tank to a halt Saturday, Haines Borough public facilities director Carlos Jimenez said this week.
Jimenez said a surveyor made a six-foot error in calculating elevation. The Barnett tank works on a gravity-fed system and is fed by the Tower Road water tank, so elevation is very important in maintaining a functional system, Jimenez said.
