Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) owns and operates the Gifford Elevated Storage Tank (EST), a 0.4 million-gallon (MG) steel multi-leg supported tank that has a common inlet/outlet pipe, and an altitude valve.

Payment of invoice J19690-002RT will complete IRCDUS’ obligation to Viking for the total amount of $254,675.00. This is a decrease in budget by $54,225.00.
