ment with Water Department supervision for $200 per test.
BIG THOMPSON WASTE WATER DRAIN LINE:
Approximately 1,612 feet of waste water drain line from the Big
Thompson treatment plant needs to be replaced which at a cost of $20
per foot would total $32,240.This cost estimate does not include the
crossing at State Highway 7.About $18,850 remain in the 1980 budget
for water improvement projects.The Committee tabled the matter to
obtain an estimate on the highway crossing and to further review possible
funding.
CONDUIT REQUIREMENT AND READOUT LOCATION:
The Committee discussed requiring conduit from the water meter to the
Light &Power meter and locating both readouts together.The conduit
would provide protection for the wire connecting the water meter to
the readout and locating the readouts together would facilitate meter
reading.These requirements would apply to new construction and/or
major remodeling.The Committee recommends the Municipal Code be
amended to include these requirements.

21%increase over June 1979.
