Water Tower

The Citizen had an article on the Water Tower concerning new antennas that are proposed to be added to it. Frankly, I really don't care if more antennas are added.

What got my attention was that in order to set up the antennas, repairs have to be made.  I read that to fix the structural integrity problems would either be $4,000 or $200,000.  Isn't that a rather large difference? 

Is there anyone out there that is reading this know anything about tanks of this size and structure?  Is $4K sufficient to keep a tank that size full of water deciding to turn itself into a one time waterfall?  And if it is, how far is it just kicking the can down the street?  In this case, what is the right amount of money to repair it correctly?  Not with all the bells and whistles, but correctly?  

I don't know anything about water tanks.  I don't even know if the Town owns the tank or if someone else does.   I don't want to open the Citizen, Sun, or Steamer to find out that there is no more tank...
