SOUTH BEND PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />224 North Main Street <br />P.O. Box 1714 <br />MICHAEL L. VANCE <br />Director of Utilities <br />CITY ®f SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />Members of the Council <br />City of South Bend Common Council <br />4th Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Dear Council Members: <br />September 23, 1981 <br />219/284 -9322 <br />There will be presented for your consideration at first reading <br />of the September 28, 1981 Council Meeting an ordinance approving the <br />award of a contract for improvements to the River Commons water system. <br />After much deliberation, the South Bend Water Works has decided <br />to move ahead in making improvements to the above mentioned system. <br />That system currently is capable of pumping 750 gallons per minute <br />with limited (2000 gals.) storage. While this may be adequate many <br />portions of the year, it is not adequate to provide good fire pro- <br />tection during the summer months when water usage is already high. <br />The Board of Water Commissioners accepted bids and made an award <br />for the proposed work, contingent on your approval of that contract, <br />to Layne Northern, Inc. in the amount of $24,976 on August 17, 1981. <br />It is anticipated that when completed, the system as modified will <br />have a maximum of 1500 gals. /minute, in addition to much greater <br />flexibility in meeting a variety of demand levels. <br />Please feel free to contact my office if further information is <br />desired. <br />Sincerely, Q 'Vyo.� <br />JILL,j Michael L. Vance <br />Director of Utilities <br />MLV /mtw <br />
