A. Engineer Mann indicated casings are to be installed in new Pilot Knob road as it is built so
that future needs for mains can be met without boring under the road later. Cost is not known,
but considered minimal.
B. Discussion of where future wells might be needed. It seems wasteful to purchase future sites if
not needed.
Motion by Krueger, second by Wier to authorize up to $2,000 for a Well Field Study.
C. We are now operating with an approved limit of pumping in the amount of 440,000,000
gallons/year. Is this adequate for immediate needs. 1998 pumping amounts were
substantially below this amount. Should we consider requesting higher amount?
No decision made, to be considered at a later date.
