<br />~ <br /> <br />The third phase of our plan is to procure another well and pumping facility. We have in <br />mind the southeast corner of town as additional development in that area is expected in the <br />near future. <br /> <br />The Board of Trustees feels that the tracking of the results of the proposed improvements <br />will be seen immediately in the reduction of the number of gallons pumped through our <br />system. We are intent upon setting up "staging areas" for monitoring specific results of our <br />efforts through various pumping gauges. Some will be on individual residences and <br />businesses and others will be directly on 24 hour gauges on our reservoirs and other <br />strategic areas. They will be a combination of monitoring the number of gallons pumped <br />and the pressure in various areas. <br /> <br />We will keep our customers informed on the progress of our efforts through our monthly <br />newsletter; the school, through public education programs with the science classrooms; and <br />our own PEG system through our local cable tv provider, TCI. We are currently working <br />on our franchise which includes a camera system to produce our own videos and the <br />broadcasting of our government's meetings on various subjects. <br /> <br />We employed a local retired, well respected engineer, a Mr. Leo Fontenot, this last year <br />to help assess our water system. Mr. Fontenot has a wonderful background in water <br />treatment design and implementation around the world for the Dupont Corporation as well <br />as other companies. He brought to our team a wealth of knowledge and resources and <br />continues to be a volunteer in our community for the town in our various projects. <br /> <br />We would like to end up with Del Norte being an example of what a small community can <br />accomplish and provide to it's customers. We would like to invite other communities to call <br />upon our resources, results and information gathered as we would like to share what we <br />have gained with other communities. We anticipate this first phase of our projects to be <br />completed by December 1998. The well work and two pressure reducing valves in <br />conjunction with a new main line extension will be completed by year end 1997. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration to our grant request for $5,000. If you have any <br />questions please feel free to call us at 719-657-2708. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />The Board of Trustees <br /> <br />~~~,} <br /> <br />Mayor Dennis urp'y, Jr. <br /> <br />{96wfrgr8DI} <br />
