Honorable Mayor and City Council
Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Re: Purchase of Used Pressure Tank
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We understand that the City of Lino Lakes has a used 7,500 gallon hydro - pneumatic pressure
tank that was a part of your water system, but is not longer in use. We understand that it has been
removed from the pumphouse and awaiting disposal.
The Town of Columbus is about to begin construction of its first well pumphouse, and we would
very much like to purchase this used tank. We have inspected the tank and feel it will meet our
needs. We will purchase the tank "as is" and handle all transportation arrangements. According
to your Utility Supervisor Tim Hillesheim, the salvage value as scrap steel is $7,500.00.
We would like to use the tank for its intended purpose as part of a water system rather than see it
cut up for scrap. In that regard, the Town of Columbus would like to purchase the tank for
$7,500.00.
Action Requested
Consider Columbus' offer to purchase the used pressure tank in "as is" condition for $7,500.00.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Mursko
Town Manager
