a new system Is operating. For this
reason the Committee offers the foil-win
suggestions for the ^ul ence of all water
users.
(a) That no more hook-ups to the
present water system be serviced until
the supply has beem replenished by rain
fall or by construction r esigned to
collect more water at the source.
(b) That the M. V. F. C. A. be en
couraged to Install a pump at the head of
the present supply line. This pump is
expected to increase the capacity of the
water line, thufe^furnlshing.nore surplus
water for the community.
(c) That' an adequate supply of water
for fire fighting be given priority .ver
general use. In other words, the conn
unity c’eslres a full water tank for flre
fi ;hting.
(d) That, when, in the Judgement cf
theMkV.F.C.A., it. beccnes necessary tc : .
curtail service to surplus water users,
the curtailment be extended equitably to
all users by periodic "shut-offs".
(e) That surplus water users make
every effort to c ;nserve water supplies
during the present emergency. Repair
leaky faucets. Insulate plumbing where
posslole, so that taps need not be left
open to prevent freezing of lines. Guard
against waste.
(f) Surplus water users who might
be adversely effected by a shut off of
more than 9-hours are urged to contact
this ccnnittee. Other.users who find
their minimum water requirements are not
bein • filled are urged tc bring such in
formation tc the committee.
2. The K.V.F.C.A. Is unable to finance
any expansion of the present water system
to Increase surplus supplies, beyond In
stallation of the pump mentioned above.
3. The community of Palmer will have to
take the inltative in planning an expand
ed water system to meet the future needs
cf the town. This new system must be
financed by the community. The committee
recognizes the necessity of startln;
construction at an early date, certainly
no later than next summer. Flanning
should, be -’one within the next three or
four months.
4. Until plans for a new systems can
be devised anJ the system placed in oper
ation, water users must encourage the
M.V.F.C.A. to continue It's present pro
gram of sellin; surplus water. Coopera
tion will greatly assist In helping the
whole community threurh the present emerg
ency.
