The cistern arrives via a big rig ...... extra wide load. The day is about to get very intense!
Our construction crew has been working feverishly to prepare the final resting place of this underground storage system for 15,000 gallons of fire-fighting water to reside.
A 150 ton crane has been mobilized to the site to perform the task of lifting this 60 ton cistern and gently lowering it into place.
The lid is placed on top to create a watertight seal. Great going guys!!
The earth is moved back into place around the cistern and it's installation is a huge success.
Notice how even the sun came out to celebrate? Another successful "one-step closer" to the sanctuary being a reality!
