MINSTER – Minster Council agreed at its meeting Tuesday, April 6, to the potential location of the new water tower destined to replace the aging one on Ohio Street. They also cleared the way for Bud’s Pizza to be able to obtain a liquor license.
The new water tower location is slated to be off of West Seventh Street next to the village composting site. Estimated cost for the new tower will be $2 million. Village Administrator Don Harrod said the next step is to do soil test borings at the site to make certain it is suitable for the new structure.
