NOTICE
To the Public:
The council committee in
charge of Public Utilities wishes
to express its appreciation for
the tolerance shown by the citi
zens in the recent apparent
water shortage. The low pressure
was caused by a break in the
line which was difficult to locate
due to the fact that the water
was working thru gravel to the
bay instead of to the surface.
As you all know we have re
cently acquired the Army dock
and the water system that ser
ved it. This water supply we
have been using to supplement
the city system and it is only
thru its use that we have been
unable to conserve water im
pounded in the city reservoir.
Without this supplementary
system the city would have been
able to supply the regular users
and the cannery during the pre
sent dry period. In fact, the city
system would have been entirely
dry now. Pipe has been order
ed to make a permanent hook
up so that in the future at all
times whatever portion of the
city system necessary may be
cut into the dock system to bal
ance the demand. We feel you'
should know this to appreciate
the asset yqu have acquired in
gettng the dock property.
lo help combat weather con
ditions similar to last winter the
Water Department crew has
been repacking valve boxes as
fast as possible this summer We
will in the next few days rebuild
the dam which caused formation
of a lake below the city reservior.
By doing so we hope to catch
sufficient of the run from fall
rains to enable us to have an
eme'ge >cy supjly available to be
pumped into the system and the
|equalization tank thru a short
pip line. This will enable us to
chlorinate the water instead of
using it direct from a lake as we
did last winter.
