• 4 1 The Director told Councilmember Enrooth every time a- pump is down 2 for repairs, it costs the City at least $600 to get it back in 3 operation. He also verified Mr. Christofferson' s report about 4 parts being hard to find by saying the bowl he .h_ ad recently pur- 5 chased was no longer being manufactured and the only reason he was 6 able to get a replacement was that the bowl just happened to be in 7 storage. Mr. Hamer also warned that the next time the station goes 8 down, a new pump would have to be put in to maintain the necessary 9 output. It was his contention that to replace the floor to prevent 10 vibrations would be very expensive and making any repairs on a 11 facility as old as this one "would only be a gamble. " The Director 12 concluded by telling the Council the City already has the property 13 for relocation and it would be at least a year before a new faci- 14 lity could be put in place because the transition would have to be 15 coordinated to provide an even flow during construction. 16 D.
