IGLEHART COMMISSIONER CURTIS H. DODSON " JOHN G. HART J.PHIL HOYLE �i Alsoh attending: J•Raleigh Fountain and Mr. Earl Harvel, Mayor Lindsay called the meeting to order and explained the purposes of this special me ting was to discuss and make plans for improving the water oressure at the south end of town and to interview Mr. William S. "Bill" Gwynn as the replacement for Raleigh Fountain. Mr. Fountain read off the names of the residents who complained about low water pressure for the last three months. He then read the recorded water pressure re,dings for several points on the south water main line for time period of 10:10 A.M. to 10:50 A.M. on April 12, 1960. He called the attention of the commissioners to the fact that all pressures were between 9 and 19 lbs. per sq. inch. He also said that the pressure guage installed by Roy Cowart near the Golf Clubts master water meter showed pressures of 26 to 32 lbs. while the Golf Clubts pressure guage located on the line from the wells showed pressures from 49 to 50 lbs. per sq. inch. Mayor Lindsay introduced Mr. Earl Harvel of Howard Cromer,Inc., utilities Contractor. He explained that Mr. Harvel had installed most of the present water mains and practically all of the water meters in Gulf Stream. He stated that Mr. Harvel wanted to do the Town a favor by explaining the situation before the Town spends money on the proposed new water main. Mr. Harvel said that he checked the Golf Clubts pressure guage, which is on the line from the wells and noted pressures of 49 to 54 lbs. whereas the guage installed near the master meter showed not more than 30 lbs. After inquiring around, he said that he believed that only the curved bot�om bowl portion of the water tank ever contained water. He said that if this was true then the pressure at the bottom of the tank would rise 10 tO 12 lbs. just by keeping the tank full. Mr. Harvel said that because of the 6 inch piping and the two 90 degree elbow bends in the line from the master meter to the town's main on Golf View Road, it would be very unlikely that water would enter the town's mains at 50 lbs. pressure even if the tank remained full. Mr. Harvel suggested that the town employ anj engineer and get an analysis of the situation. Mr. Iglehart thanked Mr. Harvel and made a motion that the Town Commissioners authorize Raleigh Fountain to write to Mr. Dickenson, Secretary of the Golf Club, and explain the situation, to'him and ask the he petition the club at the meeting on April 263 1960 to increase the water level in the tank and to endeavor to raise the water pressure at the guage near the master meter to 50 lbs. per sq. inch. Mr. Hart seconded the motion and it c carried unanimously. SPECIAL COMMIKION MEETING OF . ^PRIL 15, 1960 Page 2 Mr. Hart agreed to help and to edit the letter to be mailed to Mr. Dickenson.
