Both WEP&L Co. rate 75 which resulted ‘in a’ power. bill saving. Average cost of pumping was approximately $3 per 100,000 gallons, Since the water from the wells is moderately hard a study was made of the feasibility of install- ing a municipal water ‘softner. Such a unit with a capacity of 200,- 000 gallons a day would have cost 15, costs at this flow would have been approximately $400 a month. However, to soften the ‘entire summer consumption of nearly a million gallons a day was complete- ly infeasible. Since only water re- quired for laundering and bath- ing gains any appreciable advant- age from softening, council felt ‘it was not economically justified to soften the complete supply. Individual home softeners are available at reasonable ‘prices or on @ reasonable rental for those During the summer the pur- chase of the Sherbiko water system was negotiated at a price of $11, 000. The village took possession on Aug. 1, A downpayment of $400 was made with the remainder to be paid in a maximum of five years with interest at 6 per cent. A re- commendation was made to fu- ture councils that this debt be re- tired as quickly as possible. In’ October this system was interconnected with the village supply at an overall cost of $6,700.
