Icicle River Pipe Repair Justified by City Officials
The mayor and council opposed reopening the Icicle River pipeline during December and January freezing weather. Repairs finished this week cost the city less than 100 dollars after abandoning the effort to reopen the line, which had run up about 500 dollars with no result. Water was drawn from the mill company reservoir at 225 dollars monthly for two and a half months. Tolbert, the Water Commissioner, supervised four workers who completed repairs in a week at about 85 dollars and replaced several frost damaged joints. He noted a few minor leaks patrolled for summer reliability.
