order at 7:00 p.m. to gël.ther informël.tion from the pub I i c
citizens, on community development, housing and public
facility needs in the City. Mayor Dehler discussed the
results of a. survey of the residents which indicated that
the citizens feel there is a need for providing a more
consistent flow of water to their homes. Many of them
expressed concern of 10\" water pressure, particulël.rly in
summe r. The residents discussed their feelings with the
Council when the survey was done, and expressed their
CQncerns on the survey. They felt that there is a. need for
ample storage of water in Qrder to provide consistent and
adequate flow Qf water to a. I I the properties in the City.
SëI.d I 0 stated that plans to instël.ll needed mains hël.ve been
made after studying the location a.nd size of the existing
mains. Street work, in conjunction with install ing the mains
would include curb .3nd jjpJtter, according to City stël.ndards.
Mayor Dehler opened the floor for any questions.
Q. MiKe Hazen a.sked if the City has decided on the shël.pe ëI.nd
size of tower.
A. Plans have been made for one which is like Sauk Centre's.
It would be 10vJ in vandalism and maintenël.nce. The size
wi I I be 500,000 ga I Ions, which would provide for the
current water needs of the Ci ty.
Q. Mike Hazen asked if the 500,000 would be ëI.degua te for
growth.
A. The proposed size is the recommended size for our current
needs, but should be adequate to provide service for some
time. PI a.ns for the future include also, a new we I I
field. One of our we II s is very dirty and we may need to
abandon it. A treatment fël.cility and an additional tower
would be added also, as growth overtaxes QUI' systems.
Q. Whël. t would be put on the tower? A logo perhaps?
A. Various logos and stël.tements were discussed by the
Counci I.
Q. How will the City pay for its portion of the project? The
City has $200.00 saved through the pa.st yeël.rs, to provide
seed money for wa.ter needs. A I so, the City has installed
a new we I I, and water valves and mains in the recent past.
