<br />the existing water supply is to construct two new wells north and <br /> <br />east of Nunn, along with a six-inch transmission pipeline from the <br /> <br />wells to the town. Also included will be new pumps, chlorinators, <br /> <br />a well house, and miscellaneous valves and meters, along with the <br /> <br />necessary electrical system to automate the pump operation. The <br /> <br />cost of this portion of the recommended improvements is approxi- <br /> <br />mately $145,000. Additional recommended improvements consist of <br /> <br />the construction of a second 50,000 gallon elevated steel water <br /> <br />tank at a cost of approximately $20,000. Also, additional water <br /> <br />distribution pipelines to improve service pressure and delivery are <br /> <br />recommended, which will cost approximately $65,000. The total of <br /> <br />all recommended improvements, including a contingency of 15 percent <br /> <br />and engineering and construction services, is approximately <br /> <br />$380,000. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND PRIORITY <br /> <br />The residents of the town of Nunn have a critical water <br /> <br />situation, mainly due to the presence of high nitrates in their <br /> <br />raw water supply. Also, they need additional water storage and <br /> <br />improvement to their distribution system. The town's rather lim- <br /> <br />ited financial means prevents them from financing this project on <br /> <br />their own. It is assumed that a combination of grant and loan <br /> <br />~onies will become available from federal agencies for 50 percent <br /> <br />~f the project. So the proposed financing will then be as follows: <br /> <br />-3- <br /> <br />2408 <br />
