Evans' Report on City Water Works Plant Value
Engineer Evans reported to the city council on the water works plant showing a rough value around 207,000,000 in round numbers after adjusting for age and deterioration. He suggested adding 10,000,000 to the value for potential profitable sale to buyers, hinting at a likely city purchase negotiation. The council may offer about 260,000 to ratify a deal, contingent on a statewide vote. The plant is in good physical condition with a few antiquated dynamos and room for efficiency improvements under current management.
