Acting Mayor Hodges agreed that the situation should be looked
into, and Engineer Hubbard stated that last year the City
had pumped a great deal of water but they had been able to
keep up with the demand. Water restrictions had been discussed
previously but Eng. Hubbard does not expect that the City will
have any water problem this year or in the future. Also,
there are rumors that the Governor may enforce some type of
water restriction so it would be best to wait and see what
action he takes.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that most cities that had
experienced problems had drawn their water supply from the
river. Eng. Hubbard stated that the City has seven wells and
last year they only drew from four at a time.
Admin. Achen stated that he had previously discussed this with
the Public Works Superintendent, who feels that action
should be taken early. The problem is not a shortage in supply
but rather in the mechanical ability to take the water out of
the ground and distribute it. Peak usage has been five or
six times the normal usage but the peak lasts for only two
weeks, and it is not felt that the City should pay for more
sophisticated equipment 52 weeks a year when it is only used
two weeks a year.
