Project Order Issued Confirming Water System Change
Mayor Nick Miell received a letter confirming a shift from the Erskine plan to a new Kodiak water distribution with a storage basin. The missive, sent by Baird Snyder of the Public Works Agency to L R Durkee, urges immediate construction of the distribution network except for the storage-to-mains main, and an urgent engineering survey of suggested basins. It notes 16 000 yards of earth can be moved quickly and the pipe run would be shortest from storage to distribution.
