Billerica residents wonder when ailing water tank will be repainted

“We all thought this was a go when we got the report from town counsel.”

The residents living in the looming shadow of the rusting 1-million gallon Crosby Hill water tower off Boston Road were promised more than 10 years ago that it would be repainted. via Lowell Sun

Why is Billerica and other towns not putting the rent money they get from the cell phone companies to pay for things around town. Billerica cut themselfs short because the town of Burlington gets 300,000.00 per year for rent where the cell phone tower is in the Cemetery. Not that we see anything done around town either like painting the streets, new signs nothing

crosby hill? hmmmmm yes there is a watertank on crosby hill, but why would billerica residents even care since crosby hill is located in the town of bedford?
Now there is one in need of paint located on Bare Hill (AKA Bear Hill)
that one is clearly in Billerica.
Bedford split from Billerica some 200 years ago!

Hammerhead, wake up! If you read the article carefully you would have realized that the Crosby Hill tank is near Bare Hill. It clearly states "off boston rd" last time i checked boston rd is not anywear near bedford.

They spent the money on a study and cleaning up some other place in the water system?
How much of a study is needed? Scrape off the old paint to bare metal, repaint with new paint.

How about having Home Depot paint the tank as part of the approval process to become a tenant at the mall?

Aah good thinking. They can even put Tony Stewart's # 20 on it and have NASCAR pitch in and pay for advertising.

I'm not a "he" and you're just a "jack@$$" Like I said, call the Lowell Sun and have them rewrite the article to your standards.
