The proposal to rebuild the Lava Tank for fire suppression was mentioned at the recent Commission meeting by Finance Manager George Canham, in clip 5 starting at about 2:34.

pictures were posted on Instagram by Mr. Lamas inside the tank as it has a new roof and the spout is back on. To be painted next spring.
