Schuyler Suggests Cheaper Waterworks for Helena
James D. Schuyler, a Los Angeles consultant, says Helena can cut the waterworks cost below Helmick’s 642,842 estimate by using wooden stave pipe and changing reservoir plans. He projects potential power revenue of 4 000 to 8 000 annually and endorses a low service reservoir plus a phased, higher efficiency system.
