From inspection of map, it will toe seen that it would toe impracticable to connect the meters marked to a line from the Shop Well due to their location. . » The balance of the meters, which includes the old Stock Yards, Power House, Tank Cars and Water Softener meters, are so situated that they could be disconnected from the 24” main which now serves them and connected to a new line which might toe constructed from the Shop Well. The flow through these meters in July 1951 was 3,891,500 gals., or an average of about 130,000 gals, per day, or an estimated peak flow of 200 GPM. However, if a plan is considered to utilize the Shop Well for service to lines served by meters as outlined in para­graph above, it would be necessary to provide additional facili­ties as roughly outlined below in order that such a plan would function properly and provide uniform pressures, which could not be obtained by connecting existing lines to a pumping well. Rough Est. Cost $40,000 10,000 1.500 5.500 $57,000 In addition to above data, the following considerations should be taken into account: (a) The well is 32 years old, and probably in poor condition as to casing, etc., which would, no doubt, make inadvisable the reconditioning of well or reperforation of casing. (b) Pump and pumping equipment are estimated to be 20 years old. (a) Elevated steel storage tank on 80* high tower with not less than 200,000 gal. capacity, Note; Automatic pressure system with pumps and tanks could be sub­stituted for elevated tank, but is not recommended, due to operat­ing difficulties. (b) Rearrange existing lines and construct new lines to transfer source of water from ex­isting mains to independent new system con­nected to operation of Shop Well, Note: Existing connection with meter from Shop Well to 24” main should be left in place so that water would be available in event of well failure. (c) Construct sand trap, Contingencies,
