Mayor Horton raised. the question of whether it is the Town's responsibility to
supply water to the property line and said. that there was $ 20,000 surplus
from the Water Plant money which could pay for this.Comm. Ha.ekman said that
Mr. Johnson from Boca-Hi volunteered to pay for supplying water from the last
hydrant to the Boca-Hi property. Comm. Hackman has requested a map of the under1dk
ground. system so to determine the correct pipe sizes and location, and also
reported. three water meter installations were delayed because of a lack of
a crew to d~ this work. The locations are Don Rex on South Ocean and two
in Bel Lido.
The Mayor reported a letter received. by Attorney Poulton from Mr. Trimble
regarding what could be done with the money left over from sale of Water
Plant bonds, stated in essence that any residue should not be used in a
general fund of the Town's but used. to redeem putstanding bonds or for pay-
ment of debt service on the bonds. This has been invested. at about a 6%
return and is a contingency available if needed. for further work at the
Water Plant. Comm. Hackman agreed and. stated that a problem concerning
the air release valve will be corrected by Mr. Arney, who will run a pipe
to the outside to take care of a residue of water. He further stated that
we have excellent soft waterand that a 2 inch pipe was run into the filter
to relieve the lime feed line.
