Campbell President, Board of Directors Las Vegas Valley Water District 135 South Fourth Street Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Mr. Campbell: My letter to you of March 23, 1954 recommended that the District authorize the Las Vegas Land and Water Company to develop or acquire additional production facilities as quickly as possible to assure an adequate supply for this coming summer's anticipated heavy demand. I also stated that I would be glad to cooperate with the Land and Water Company in any way possible. Briefly, the best plan appears to be the immediate drilling of two additional wells and the equipping of the Land and Water Company's existing Well No. 11 with a deep-well turbine pump at a total cost of about $88, 600. The additional wells can be located on the present water­bearing lands on which the Land and Water Company's existing wells are located. The two locations which appear to be best are tabulated below and are shown on the print accompanying this letter. Both wells should be deep wells, approximately 1200 feet deep, and should have 16" I.D . casing. The approximate costs of such wells, equipped with 2500 gpm capacity pumps with bowls set at 150 feet are itemized below. Proposed Well Approximate Location 12 Between Wells Nos. 8 and 9, 520 feet from No. 8 and 690 feet from No. 9. 13 Between Wells Nos. 2 and 3, 550 feet due east of the Big Spring.
