Paul EvansJASPER, Tenn. – The Jasper Board of Mayor and Aldermen has decided to sell off a portion of city-owned property after a request from a nearby landowner.
Mayor Paul Evans said the property is on Anderson Ridge where a water tank was built and used by the city a long time ago.
“The water tank has been abandoned for years,” he said. “The first step is to declare it surplus property.”
The board voted unanimously to do so last week.
A Jasper water department official said the tank is very old and was used when there was only about 80 pounds per square inch of pressure in the system.
