Consideration of Water Supply Evaluation in Reshanau Lake Area - Mr. Davidson had presented a proposal to the Council on a study of the inplace water supply in the Country Lakes Area. He has prepared an authorization for the study but did not have it with him. The purpose of the study will be to determine what is the present water supply, what are the immediate needs for residential use and fire protection, what is the present unit (when expect to run out of wa- ter) and what is needed to upgrade the present system, add more storage, another well, use the lot to the south etc. Mr. Davidson expected this study to take four to six weeks. Mr. Reinert recalled that some time ago he had heard that the present water system could serve a given number of homes. He suggested that the Council could place a moratorium on construction of new homes until the study is concluded. This situation could jeopardize the homes that are presently in the area. Mr. Davidson said he did not think that the situation was such as to warrant a moratorium. Mayor Benson asked if the study proposed by Mr. Davidson would show the Council how many homes could be served by the present water sys- tem, what should be done in terms of future homes and what kind of storage or additional wells would be needed and be more economical. Mr. Marier moved to approve the study as proposed by Mr. Davidson and at a cost not to exceed $1,000.00. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
