In- both the northern and southern portions of the municipality. Earlier this year the com- mittee recommended the $11,- 000 study ‘and a report pre- pared by McMan Engineering was presented to the com- miltee in June. Ina press release issued by , the two-man committee of Ald. Mike Livingstone and Ald. Andy Shutek, the two’ council members say the McMan re- =) port indicates “that basically the northern system is now in shape, particularly since’ _the sand separator recently in- stalled on No. 3 well was per- forming excellently.” The press release con- *) tinues: “The report also indicated that the south system required considerable distribution up . grading and that the pumping capacity was 300 gpm short:of what is required now, and pro- «jected developments would Te- quire an additional 200 gpm. “This upgrading and ‘in- crease in supply would cost an estimated $425,000... Some grants are available from the federal and ‘provincial govern- ~ ments to assist us in this work. In addition most: of the major developments in the area have agreed to pay their propor- _ lonate share of the cost of these water-services. i“The water commiltee studies the report and in con- sultation with’ our excellent staff made a series of recom- merdations. to council. at a ‘were approved: by. Council and are now being executed by the staff at city hall together with the ‘appropriate technical per- sonnel-that are required, ““A new well No, § has to be drilled: and: its! output ‘will be pumped into, the ‘present system to augment our supply. Eventually it-will pump into its own 10-inch main and make one direct lift up toa new. 120,000 gallon tank at the 2,000 foot elevation, .-+ "It is hoped ‘that the new well can be’in operation by December of this year, and that the new tank and 10-inch main can be started next year after _ the 1977. budget-has been set. “In the “meantime, new. centralized controls and re- corders. have now been in- stalled at city hall to operate and monitor the two systems. Other controls: and recorders ‘will be installed at each storage tank and pump station so that better system operations can be achieved. “Some changes in the south distribution system will be made to relieve the more obvious problems, the full effect of these charges will not be felt until next summer, when. we will again have the maximum draw upon the system. “The demand now. being placed upon the south system is such -that the. main. resevoir tank of 250,000 gallon capacity is regularly being drawn down. from 30 ft, to § ft, even with all the system pumps in operation plus extra ‘coming through the ein. pump’ from ‘the - north system. This could place us in a very. serious position’ in. the event of a major fire in the south end Uf the city.” “Contributing | factors to this poor situation is regular violation of the’ sprinkling re- gulations by ‘several of our cltizens, plus large amounts of water being’ wasted. “Some atreéts have considerable a- mounts of water flowing down them during. sprinkling. “Because of these prac: tices, the committee has re- commended that council study hiring aman to check on the “Water Bombers Are to Depart End of August The water bombers sta- tioned at Castlegar Airport will be leaving Aug. 81.

Distribution Requires Upgrading “It is indeed unfortunate that a supply system using the Columbia’ River is not yet a reality, and it is ironic that our city is situated ‘adjacent to. _ millions of gallons of water and we are forced to restrict the useage of water by our people.” Castlegar Is Seeking Industrial Development ‘The City’ of Castlegar is endeavoring to secure a ‘small industrial development in an area located just outside the dity's. southern boundary. “Ald, Mike Livingstone didn't elaborate at council’s meeting out last week, but he said the matter has become “a long and drawn affair.” He said efforts are being made to do it ander the auspices of DREE (the federal Department of Regional Economic Expansion} and ‘to this end discussions have been held by aldermen with Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco. ‘As well, the city has had correspondence with Economic Development Minister Don Phillips in Victoria.
