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)

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)

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)
