City Reservoir Water Supply Increasing
At the council meeting the water committee reported a substantial rise in the city’s water supply over the last two weeks and expected the reservoir to reach normal height soon. They advised delaying new resource searches due to rains swelling creeks and springs. A two inch pipe was ordered on Spruce street for the new school. Discussion on meter rates was deferred to the water committee to draft a schedule. The street near First and Maple to the depot will be planked to eliminate a foot and a half drop in the pavement era.
