Water Tenders 3 and 5

Tender 3 & 5 were planned in 2006 and funded in early 2007.  The Tenders replace a 1980 International Tender with several hundred thousand miles on the odometer and an older unit that was previously taken out of service.  The Tenders are assigned to the North Station #5 (Harris Farm Road) and the South Station #3 (Kellogg Road).  PVFRS thanks the Nye County BOCC who contributed a portion of funding for the purchase of this equipment.
