lining Advance
srks Project
By Colin Mick
Advances totaling $133,920 for final planning for an addition
al $2,648,000 in water facilities for Fairbanks have been approved
by the Community Facilities Administration, according to word
received from Senator Ernest Gruening.
The Administration, a branch of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency, approved an ad-'
vance of $90,000 towards planning
the enlargement of the existing
treatment plant and a storage plant,
and $43,920 to plan extensions to
the distribution system.
The estimated total cost of the en
largement of the treatment plant
and storage plant is $1,796,400, while
the estimated total costs of the dis
tribution extensions is $873,600.
The peak demand on the present
system was reached some time ago.
and since that time 98 new cus
tomers have been connected to the
system. Under present conditions, an
estimated dry period would necessi
tate curtailment of the use of water.
Will Serve 1200
The planned extension will ex
tend the system to some 1200 resi
dents now served by inadequate
wells, which are susceptible to sur
, face water contamination.
The City plans to raise the money
for the additional facilities largely
through the sale of $2,000,000 in
General Obligation bonds. Ordi
nance 1133, which provides for the
public election on the bonding
proposition was placed in first
reading Monday night at the Fair
banks City Council Meeting. Under
; the provisions of the Ordinance, the
Bonding Election could possibly be
held this spring.
In view of the advance from the
Community Facilities Administra
tion, MUS Manager Robert Wade
said it might also be possible to bor
row the construction monies from
j these channels, provided the Bond
Proposal is passed by Fairbanks
voters. If the money for construc
tion could be obtained from the
Housing and Home Finance Agency,
the City could defer the sale of its
Obligation Bonds until the actual
construction costs were known.
Plans call for the construction on
these facilities to begin during Octo
ber of this year.
