Knox Says New Reservoir Is Ten Years In Future
City Manager BE M Knox defended public and private statements that the water supply is adequate for a city twice the size of High Point. He submitted a formal report to the council arguing no immediate need for large new storage reservoirs, noting only small annual outlays to improve reliability. The six component classes of the system show substantial capacity, with the Deep River impounding reservoir and pumps capable of serving up to 150000 people in various stages, while the council deferred action on purchasing the Austin property for a reservoir until a full meeting.
