Mr. McLean reported on the meeting of the Park Board held on September 15, 1975. General discussion on the condition of the wells at Sunrise Park and at the Hall Park. Mr. Volk had talked to several well drillers and they had re- commended replacing the wells. The Park Board had recommended either replacing or repairing to the extent that 50 gallons per minute can be realized in order to have enough water pressure for properly flooding the hockey rinks. He had also been advised that the acid approach as suggested by the Council will not solve the problem. The Park Board had asked that some action be taken within the next 30 days. Mr. Marier asked how deep the present wells area? Mr. McLean did not know. Mr. Jaworski asked the capacity of the present wells when they were new. This information was unavailable. A Mr. Ringamen, from the audience, felt that anything over 150' is a waste of money. Mr. McLean was asked where the 50 gallons per minute came from and Mr. McLean said he had contacted the County and this is their recommendation. Mr. McLean was asked the cost of new wells and said the estimates run about $3,000.00 per well. Mr. Zelinka suggested the possibility of installing a 5,000 gallon holding tank to be pumped full during the day and emptied on the rinks at night. Mr. Jaworski moved to table this until more information is available.
