ALBION – Statewide Aquastore Inc. from East Syracuse is nearly done with construction of a new 750,000-gallon water tank on Route 98 in the Town of Gaines.
Aquastore submitted the low bid of $1,369,000 for the project. The new tank is a glass-fused steel tank. Aquastore employees said they expect the new tank will be complete in January.
It will mostly serve the Town of Carlton. Water is kept in the tank and backflows into the Carlton waterlines.
The new system replaces the previous 1-million-gallon tank that was built in 1962.
The former tank was torn down a $1,527,000 bid from STC Construction of Springville. That bid also included installation of new piping, valves and a meter pit.
