Smiley hires company for tank inspections

Posted

Smiley City Council agreed to hire U.S. Underwater Services, LLC to perform tank inspections for 2019. Though the city had its tanks inspected earlier this year, that inspection was for 2018. The 2018 inspection was delayed to earlier this year because of heavy amounts of rain in the area.
