He drew an analogy to the council in 1933. which approved the expenditure of $30-35.000 to build the system. “It has done its job. This might seem like a lot of money, but in 50 years maybe it will not be.”
Mr. Kramer questioned the plan to add another 100,000 gallons of storage capacity and the drilling of another well. “Are we building a system which is far rhore than we need?"
“The system is not adequate if we have a real fire in town.” He told Mr. Kramer that with the Washington VFD’s new fire apparatus, which can pump 1,250 gallons per minute, the reservoir will last, “just one hour and then there’s no water for anything."
Mayor Morehouse added the the construction of a new reservoir would allow the existing one, which is 50 years old, to be drained and repairer!, thus lengthening its life.
“This program is very modest,” the mayor assured the council and Mr. Kramer and Mr. Miller. “It is not for development. In fact, the loan puts caps on the number of taps allowed.”
The members accepted a suggestion from Mr. Wickens that the council adopt a resolution noting that the acceptance of federal requirements for the loan are contingent upon acceptance of the application, and that otherwise all requirements are void.
