Old ones are to be removed and new ones installed in each house. 3 tanks done already (due to necessity). Agenda item for next meeting will be voting on this capital expenditure that will come out of COHO savings. John will present a proposal for approval at the next meeting. Not able to vote tonight b\/c no quorum. <\/span><\/p>\n
