About the project
The Hardtner Community is trying to purchase a generator for the Hardtner water tower during times of power outages due to inclement weather and from emergency situations such as wild fires. The generator will provide access to water during those times. The community has elderly and disabled individuals that would not otherwise be able to leave the area to obtain water for their daily needs. The purchase will also include in installation costs.
The Steps
The City of Hardtner has a supplier for the generator and the generator has already been picked out. The town of Hardtner has been trying to save funds so that they can purchase this generator; however, as they save other urgent needs in the community arise and are taken care of for the citizens and then depletes the funds that had been raised as it is a general fund for town opperation needs.
Why we‘re doing it
We are wanting to provide access to water for the Hardtner community. The town experiences power outages due to inclement weather and other unforseen situations. Access to water is a vital need for daily living in this community. Many in this community would not be able to go obtain these needs on their own due to age and/or disability. The town has had to rent a generator in recent past; which, is quite costly and takes from the funds that had been saved to purchase a generator for the same need. Being able to purchase a generator would allow for funds to go to other needs in the community.
