County changes course for replacing hot water boilers
The Lincoln County Commissioners thought they were getting a good deal when they recently approved a deal to replace two boilers at the county courthouse.
But some confusion about the deal turned it into a situation where they’re hoping one of the heating units has a longer shelf life.
Ultimately, the commissioners approved a deal on Feb. 21 to replace a leaking boiler that provides hot water to the county jail. The hot water heater and circulation pumps will cost $73,112. It will be paid from payment in lieu of taxes, federal payments that help local governments offset losses in property taxes due to the existence of nontaxable federal lands within their boundaries.
