Lake water plan criticized and extension costs cited
Herrin Lake No 1 is deemed unsuitable to supply storage and the Crab Orchard water causes odor. Extengripe proposes extending the No 2 Lake withdrawal pipe to full depth with a $6000 discharge line and $6000 pump install plus $27000 total project costs including easements and contingencies. Lake No 1 would not serve as a settler basin and deeper intake could fix treatment issues.
