This Day in History: New Windsor Council Agrees On Need of Water Tower
The Carroll Record, February 8, 1973.
The New Windsor Town Council had a "Citizen's Hearing" Tuesday night on the proposals to build a $120,000 storage tank for the town's water system. Considering the specifics of an engineering firm's offer, in the informal but democratic manner of a New England town meeting, Council members Granville Bixler and Richard Wareheim invited comments from town citizens on every aspect involving building a new 200,000 gallon water storage tank.
The basis for the discussion was a proposal submitted by Buchart-Horn engineers that New Windsor enter into a contract with the firm for construction of the much needed water tank.
Although questions regarding the site of the tank and the vital matter of funding-whether through a bond issue or with assistance of state or federal funds were not resolved; there was total agreement that in view of low water pressures and increasing costs due to inflation, the tank should be built now.
