Dear Council Members:
September 23, 1981
219/284 -9322
There will be presented for your consideration at first reading
of the September 28, 1981 Council Meeting an ordinance approving the
award of a contract for improvements to the River Commons water system.
After much deliberation, the South Bend Water Works has decided
to move ahead in making improvements to the above mentioned system.
That system currently is capable of pumping 750 gallons per minute
with limited (2000 gals.) storage. While this may be adequate many
portions of the year, it is not adequate to provide good fire pro-
tection during the summer months when water usage is already high.
The Board of Water Commissioners accepted bids and made an award
for the proposed work, contingent on your approval of that contract,
to Layne Northern, Inc. in the amount of $24,976 on August 17, 1981.
It is anticipated that when completed, the system as modified will
have a maximum of 1500 gals. /minute, in addition to much greater
flexibility in meeting a variety of demand levels.
Please feel free to contact my office if further information is
desired.
Sincerely, Q 'Vyo.�
