ARC Watertank Groundbreaking

mtankersley April 9th, 2010

United States Representative Lincoln Davis joined local community and business leaders Friday in breaking ground on the site of a new 700,000 gallon water tank which will be constructed in west Lawrence County.

The tank will improve water pressure for customers in the western section of Lawrence County and will also assist with water availability for fire protection in the area.

Funding for the project will include a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission. The tank project is the first grant approved since Lawrence County was admitted to the Appalachian Regional Commission in October of 2008.
