# Seelyville's Glen Tank water tower needs major repairs, and only one contractor has bid on the job

## What happened
A utility department staffer told the council that repairing the tank alone would run about $413,980, with a full exterior repaint adding another $47,260 — $461,240 in all. ([4:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkpBxCx48zA&t=272))

The estimate has been sent to the town's insurer, and the town — which started seeking quotes in February — has only been able to get that one bid. ([5:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkpBxCx48zA&t=302))

## The outcome
No vote or spending decision was made; the town is waiting to hear back from its insurer on how much of the repair it will cover before deciding how to proceed. ([5:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkpBxCx48zA&t=302))
