A summary of the actual conditions that exists with respect to our present system and are explanation of the proposed rebuilding together with the manner In which tha same will be financed may be of interest to the voters. The present system waa built 25 years ago at a coat of $43,000.00. To this original system many extensions exten-sions have been made until at the preaent time, it la composed of 4 block of U-lnch wood pipe, 10 blocks of 8-lnch wood pipe, 10 blocks of inch wood pipe, 29 blocks of 4-Inch wood pipe, 65 block of 1-inch wood pipe and 13 block of cast Iron pipe of various sixes. ! Aa can be readily seen, a major portion of our present system is com posed of 1-inch wood pipe which is undesirable at any time. Practically all of tha wood pipe la in poor state of renalr aad in many eases whole blocks-most be replaced this season In numerous part of the ' city root growth have, entirely blocked the Din leaving , dead end and unsani tary water. The -results or these conditions is onlr too aDDarent in all parts of the city, especially in the north part Of the entire amount of water turned into the system at the head house or settling tank only 35 percent actually hi consumed, the remaining amounts or 66 percent la lost throughout the system. This together with the tact that our present settling tank must be situated at It present location makes It Impossible to maintain even under the most favorable conditions. a pressure tn excess of 30 pounds and In many sections of the city practically practical-ly none. The need of a new system is therefore apparent In order to rebuild the present sys tem with cast Iron pipe composed of 4-Inch pipe and larger and to 'Install seventeen new fire hydrants in order that ample fire protection might be acorded to all, an erpendltura j of $119,475.00 J necessary. This la a new complete rebuilding with the exception excep-tion of twenty-three block how laid. With this expenditure th old settling tank and water supply wquld be used and while there would be an ample supply of water, our pressure would remain as it is. " To quarantee a favorable favor-able pressure to all water users, a new source of supply ; to necessary. Hence the ecorst to acquire the cave camp spring. The -' water from , thla spring chemically and bacterlologlcally pure la not only the flneat in the country for culinary purpoaea but la ample for a city of at least 15,000 Inhabit anta. .Through the eo-operatloa of the state, thla water caa be brought far point upon the East Beach for $34,323.00 which with the construction of a. naW 200,000 gallon head house, the total estimated, cost of the new distribution system, new head house and new source of supply will be 115283.00. . J. V- . f American Fork City has Waterworks Bonds outstanding now, in .the amount 61 610,000.00. They have available to ward, payment $7,650.00 in the Water-, works Sinking Fund, which with the 193ft payment of J2.550.00 now due, these bonds can be completely retired at a momenta notice. The city ; is therefore out of debt and fully able to finance the. proposed rebuilding. The yearly expenditure ' on the water system at the present time Is $13,600.00 of which amount $1,000.00 I paid for supervisor salary, $13,600 is therefore epent in the payment of bonds,, rebuilding and maintenance of the old system each year Under the proposed l8Sue,an.ITrage payment of $10,000.00 per year over a period of thirty years will retire the -entire bond issue, leaving about $2,600.00 for whatever, emergency' might arise with respect to the water system. The rebuilding can therefore The done with; out either a raise in the present water rat or tax levy. o Some criticism is heard relative to ihe amount of Interest that must be paid annually. A considerable amount of the expendlturea made' In the waterworks department at the present tlm is for the maintenance Of the old system. This amount will practically pay the average Interest charges of the new bonds,.
