Lafayette Blvd. <br />South Bend. In 46601 <br />Re: North Station Suction Resemoir Demolition <br />Catherine, <br />The City of South Bend Water Works seeks permission to demolish the suction well <br />reservoir located on the property northeast of the North Pumping Station at 8307\. <br />Michigan. In the last six months, the have made masonry anti roof repairs whichrevealed <br />further building maintenance issues. We will continue restoration of the North Pumping <br />Station but must also consider the costs. We would appreciate historic preservation's <br />assistance in the varied aspects of this responsibility. <br />The suction well reservoir has been out of use fior over 70 years and has no practical <br />value to the South Bend Water Works. Because the suction well was constructed with the <br />same historic bark -faced 8" masonry units as the main building, the demolition of the <br />suction well would allow us to use the salvaged masonry to restore the main building. <br />We ask Historic Preservation for a favorable recommendation to abandon the water <br />suction reservoir, Thank you for your consideration. <br />ReT dL I •�X� <br />jollI X <br />Nriltrout <br />�C'Cx� c"Okc <br />
