The Committee discussed the status of the water projects. Mr.
Gregory Boehm discussed the proposed water extension on Lannon
Drive from Janesville Road to Woods Road. A decision is pending
from the City Engineers.
Supt. Bertram reviewed the settlement problem on the presure tank
pier in Racine Avenue pumphouse and stated that it is his
intention to raise the water tank to its original position in the
near future. He does not feel that we are in any immediate
danger. This condition has existed for some time and he will
continue to monitor and keep the Committee informed.
The Committee adopted Mayor Salentine's recommendation clarifying
the controlled access assessment on the 400 ft. that is being
severed from the Scholbe property as an intended land sale to the
County Park. This assessment would remain a controlled access
assessment, meaning that the seller would not pay and the County
would not be liable for its payment unless the improvement is
used. This improvement would be either for a building served by
water or as developed park property at the time the County Park
connects to the water system.
The temporary rate structure for water that was supplied by the
Public Service Commission was reviewed and placed on file.
The Engineer's recommendation on the bids submitted for water
meters were not available and the Committee recommended the
Finance Committee review at their meeting on Tuesday, January 13,
1987.

the following water meter testing equipment:
No. 4 Standard Test Bench $2,200

The Committee reviewed the Water Utility Survey submitted by the
Plumbing Inspector which reflects present water users in the
Industrial Park and placed on file.
A report submitted by Building Inspector Lee was reviewed. It
informed the Committee that at the November 13, 1986 meeting Mr.
Roland Link raised a question as to whether two water meters
could be installed on one lateral to service a home and a
business. He informed the Committee that this can be
accomplished and he is sure that some buildings in the Industrial
Park have more than one meter per lateral.
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Ald. Edwin P. Dumke
Acting Secretary
