Both the City of Pontotoc Board of Aldermen and the Pontotoc County Board of Supervisors are seeing grants through Three Rivers Planning and Development for the construction of elevated water tanks.

John Byers, Community and Economic Development Director for Three Rivers said that the projects will cost some $1 million each and the grants that are being sought will cover 80 percent of the cost, leaving $200 thousand on each project to be funded by other means.
