The article traces the root cause to the Ker ordinance delaying funds for a new river main, outlining the plan to lay 5500 feet of 36 inch pipe to Casey’s Hill and the projected timeline of 23 to 46 days for full main installation as water remains muddy. It notes warnings from 1905 about duplicating a larger main and predicts mounting water shortages if progress stalls.
