Fuel tanks raise financial issues for Royal City

ROYAL CITY — A pair of underground tanks are causing some financial headaches for the city of Royal City, the council heard at its March 5 meeting. “When the city purchased the Grant County property that’s adjacent to (City Hall), it came with underground storage tanks for gas and diesel, and they’re large,” said Public Works Director John Lasen. “They used those tanks not just for the people that operated out of that barn, but for all of southern Grant County services. They’re 4,000 gallons apiece. They’re far bigger than we would ever use.”
