The Knox Board of Works approved the purchase of a new crane hoist during their meeting last week.
Wastewater Department Superintendent Jason Clemons informed the board the current truck they use with an attached crane is not adapt. He said the new crane hoist would be safer for the crew and would attach to the truck’s rear bumper. He added the attached crane hoist would fold down and tuck away in the rear of the truck.
Clemons stated the total for the new crane would be $6,886. A motion was made to approve the purchase. That motion was seconded and passed unanimously by vote.
