Delta City Council Approves Yater Project Plans In order to help overcome the many problems that exist in the city water system, the council has approved the following plan. The railroad well near the depot has had the pump completely overhauled over-hauled and installed in the well. It is the plan of the council to hook this well into the present system by installing four blocks of new 8" water main from the well, down Fourth West to Main or First South and to connect this line to all existing laterals. The well would be connected to the storage tank with special controls and would only operate during periods of low water pressure. It is hoped that this phase of the project can be completed this spring and will help alieviate the low pressure problem by additional addition-al water from a separate source. Call Engineering of Salt Lake City will handle the detail and supervision and Delta City will do the installation. It has been many years since any attempt was made to update the water systeim and to replace inadequate in-adequate and undersized lines. It is the feeling of the Council that all excess revenue derived from the water fund should be put back into the system. If the above plan is carried out in its entirity it will insure Delta City of adequate water and good pressure for many years to come. Until the pressure problem can be overcome, the council is considering con-sidering the abolishment of the exisiting sprinkling rates. These rates were instilled to encourage the discontinuance of the irrigation irriga-tion water, which does not appear practical at this time. If the sprinkling rate . is removed, it would mean a slight increase to the heavy users of water, but no increase to the approximate 50 of the users In the minimum use range. At this date, however, no action has been taken on this rate 1959 CLASS REUNION Graduates of the 1959 DHS class will hold its class reunion Dec. 27, 1969 at Top's City Cafe, 8:00 p.m. Accepting reservations and payment pay-ment in advance is Annalee Church, Box 785, Delta.
