He noted that some of the positive findings of this report included the following: 1 . Salina City has a source of wholesome drinking water, 2. The source of this water is more than adequate for our needs over the next number of years. Someof the problems confronting the city include: We have some antiquated, obsolete lines that have been in use for more than 50 years and need to be replaced. Some of the water lines are 2 and 4 inch lines and should be replaced with larger lines; 3. We have inadequate water pressure on the area to the south where we have businesses near the ct The water tank on the east side of the city should have water running in at the top of the tank where as of no w we just have water coming into the tank at the bottom from the water pressure. The engineering firm made a number of proposals anusome preliminary cosrs uiai trie counciiis swaying. Some additional study sessions will be held, proposals debated, costs delineated and subsequently sources of revenue pursued in an endeavor to resolve these crucial culinary water problems. At a later date public hearings will be held so that all citizens will have the opportunity to be a part of the democratic process of addressing our culinary water problem. An adequate supply of good drinking water is vital to the life of our city.
