1l~58 put a 2!~" line on Larpenteur going south into the Snelling system. Bonestroo St. Paul is going to be inv,~,sti .^~at,ing this soon. Shavor Don't you think St. Paul's program could be completed before we have very many connections out here? Bonestroo Ve feel this is not a normal pressure but in talking to the St. Paul Engineers, they feel it is go~i.ng to get better. I don't know exactly what they are going to do. They are of the opinion that the work they did the last two years should have helped considerably. I know they are making an investigation. I would like to check to see if all the gate valves are open. The way St. Paul talks, pressures should have come up 10# which is a tremendous increase. Libby There should be something to substantiate this, Bonestroo Vv`hat vre are doing is the way it should be done, The problem is not here. It is somewhere else. Libby There's not much sense in putting in additional lines if we don't have sufficient pressure. There's no sense in buying a horse if you haven't got oats to feed it. Nilsen St. Paul feels they will equip themselves to take care of all , of Ramsey County, and it is only right that the water should come from the Central Cities. I think they ''re ~~reparing them- selves, looking into the future, and we think the fact that they are granting permission to extend the lines indicates that they feel they will be able to serve them properly. Sx~aulding ~~?y pump went out about three years ago. I investigated running the service up to serve my property and was advised the main to serve that would cos+ about ?500.00. I talked to the wa±,er de- partment. They were avrare of the -pressure roblem and they said they didn't think it was practical, the pressure was only about 20f# per square inch on Ruggles. Bonestroo They say it is well up around 30j# now. Spaulding What is the size running up each street. Bonestroo 8" up Snelling and 6" on the others. "iirro 6" loops are equivalent to an 8" line. Spaulding You speak about looping, ii,here? Bonestroo Along Roselawn. Spaulding St. Paul suggested a water tank. I think vre should get all the costs before we go into this matter, 3onestroo There was no discussion of a tank Rast of Snelling. There was some discussion of a tank V~test of Snelling. They have a i. aster Study. I don't knotiar just hovti~ they plan to carry it out. As each loop is brought around, you are getting pressure correction. You don't do this all at one time because you can't afford it.
