It was also brought out at the March 9 meeting of the city council that there is a possibility that no funds would be available to finance the revamping of the water system until October of this year. There have been no estimations about what the project would cost. Valley Engineering, Inc. also mentioned several sources available for funding. One source could possibly be the FHA. However, water rates must be risen to meet the state average which is currently approximately $4 higher than what Hyde Park residents are now paying.
