Vance Director of Utilities Member of the Common Council South Bend Common Council 4th Floor City of South Bend Dear Council Members: There will be presented reading of the May 18, 1981 appropriating $28,000.00 and for the use of those funds. 2191284 -9322 May 13, 1981 for your consideration at first Council Meeting an ordinance approving an engineering contract As you are aware, the shutting down of the Oliver Well Field potentially could cause problems in meeting water supply demands during the peak usage periods which occur during the summer months. To insure that this potential problem is mini- mized or eliminated, it is essential that alternative supply points are developed within the present system as soon as possible. On my recommendation the Board of Water Commissioners has signed a contract, subject to funding, with Lawson - Fisher Associates for their services in evaluating alternative well expansion sites and for the design of an additional well field whose location has yet to be determined. It is essential that this ordinance be handled in a timely manner in view of the possible problem. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If I may provide additional information, please feel free to contact my office. Sincerely, %lae, u,.A._._ Michael L.
