Joint recommendation from the sione~~ J. A. Walling
and City Engineer J.. H. Rafferty to,ge r. with p4;aJ;lS and speci-
fications PROJECT '2. City West Univ i ty Place ;)~a:ter Lines ' -
under contaact with Ed S. McFar:!-and, Was submitted.,
,This Project #2 being authorized by the City coune::+1 under blanket
instructions given Water CommiSSioner at meeting oPFebfy Ilth$
1930. '
We furtherrecommend that a standpipe of ,100,000 gallons capacity
be constructed to provide pressure for the anticipated Summer
load. The installation of' this tank would reduce the power bill
and wear and tear on motors and pumps and would increase sys~em
efficiency more than 20 per cent. The cost would approximate '
$7,000.00 installed.
The construction of the units authorized under project No.2,
and the installation of the standpipe will meet the requirements
of the,City wate~ system and fire fighting system for the next
two' (2) years. Respectfully submitted,
Signed J. A. Walling, Water Vonnnn.
