30 Councilman Elstro inquired about the status of the water problem of Mr.
31 and Mrs. Jones on South 3rd Street which had been discussed at the last
32 meeting.
33
34 Tim Ryder, Director of Community Development, stated the Water Com-
35 pany says it is a problem of the home owner because of the lateral
36 main on 3rd Street. He sees three options available. One would be
37 to patch the line, which would not be the best answer in his opinion.
38 Secondly, run a new water main up t:l 4th Street, which would move the
39 lateral closer to the property line, and thirdly, to move the lateral
40 off the street but keep as a lateral up to the person's property.
41 The Water Company is willing to build a main from 3rd to 4th Street.
42 The City is willing to pay one-third of the cost for the lateral
43 running to the owner's property. The Council expressed its feeling
44 that the City should use Community Development funds for running water
45 to the home at 1337 South 3rd Street. Mr. Ryder replied that he would
46 check with the Mayor regarding making the necessary repairs, if that
47 is the desire of Council. Mr. Anderson is to check with the PSCI to
48 see if the Water Company's policy is a local decision or the policy
49 of the American Water Works. Mr. Willie Jones, the homeowner, expres-
50 sed his thanks to the council for their efforts on his behalf.
51
52 City Controller Donald Meredith brought to Council's attention the
53 reduction in the size of the copies of the minutes and told of the
54 savings to the city in cost of paper.
