He notes Dallas east of Carrollton cannot credit into the key rate. Proposes a 1 MG ground reservoir in two sections with two 500 gpm and one 1000 gpm pumps at 180 foot head, housed in a masonry building with concrete slab roof. The city population is 4500. revenue bonds for storage were voted but cannot be sold, and a water sewer tax bond was defeated. Another election on the water and sewer issue may be needed.
