<br /> Lighting I3istrict. Councilman Granger moved that they refer this letter to Mr.
<br /> Spangler. Councilm an Granger was informed that Mr. Spangler has been notified and has
<br /> publicly stated that he was in error.
<br /> The Magor announced that the y had a meeting with the people of -G- Street with regard to
<br /> the San-�1ood Golf Ran�e. The City Mana;;er was instructed to send an appropriate
<br /> letter to the City of San Carlos and also the Board of Supervisors regardin� the San-
<br /> Wood Golf Range.
<br /> SIDNEY�S, 2628 BROADWAY, REQUEST PERMISSION TO C�NDUCT "QUITTING BUSINESS SALE��. The Clerk
<br /> stated that the application had been received together with the proper check and
<br /> inventory. Councilman Stout moved to allow the sale and the permit to be granted,
<br /> .ecanded by Councilman Herkner and carried.
<br /> CITY r�TGINEER REGARDING WATER STORAGE IN PARM HILL AREA. The Clerk read the following
<br /> � S�eports, one from the City �ngineer and one from the Water Superintendent:
<br /> 4�'e have been advised by the Water Superintendent that for the last 62 cansecutive
<br /> days, from May 30 to July 31, the daily water consumption in Farm Hill No. 1 and No. 2
<br /> subdivisions has been considerably in excess of the 1�0,000 gallon w ater storage tank '
<br /> installed above Emerald Hill Road. During this two-month period the daily water i
<br /> usage has averaged 225,000 gallons a day.
<br /> The maximum daily water usage occured June 22, 1957, when 335,000 gallons of water was i
<br /> pumped to serve these two subdivisions, which quantity is more than twice the maximum �
<br /> stora�e now provided. It is reasonable to assume that when continued periods of '
<br /> warmer weather occur, these figures will be greatly increased. �
<br /> Based upon this information, it would seem rea�an able to require that suPficient
<br /> I�
<br /> storage tanks be constructed by the subdivider to provide at least one da�� s storage, i
<br /> and that the additional 60 horsepower motor and pump, originally planned for the �
<br /> Cr�.rson Pumping Station to supply F�rm Hill No. 1 and No. 2 be installed as soon as �
<br /> possible, and before any extension of the w�ter system is made into the proposed
<br /> Farm Hill No. !� subdivision. At the present time the exigting 25 horsepower purap
<br /> alone can not supply the maximum demand, and the existing standby 75 horsepower pump
<br /> , must continually cut in to handle the increased load. �
<br /> The Carson Pumping Station was originally desi�ned to include all three pumps, but the
<br /> instal.lation of the 60 horsepower pump was permitted to be deferred until a more �
<br /> accurate determin ation could be made of the w ater demands of the area. !
<br /> !
<br /> The entire Farrn Hill subdivision area is dependent upon the Carson Pumpin� Station, i
<br /> and can not receive service from existing storage facilities in the Emerald Lake ',
<br /> area. As Farm Hill Na. 3, 4 and 5, and probably more uni ts, will be re oorded in the
<br /> near future, we feel justifisd in requsstin� Council support of our recommendation '
<br /> that additional storage above that now proposed, be cor�tructed by the subdivider '
<br /> before additional connections are allawed.
<br /> Glenn M. Jain, City Engineer
<br /> To:- Mr. Glenn M. Jain, City Engineer
<br /> From: H. L. �inter, Water Superintendent
<br /> Re: Farm Hill No. 1 & No. 2 Water Storage Tanks
<br /> Reference is hereby made to our letter of June 17, 1957, relative to the above
<br /> sub�ect.
<br /> �- At the present time, our records indicate that the average daily consumption in Farm '�
<br /> �" Hill No. 1 and No. 2 is approximately 225,000 gallons, with one peak day reaching '
<br /> 335s000 gallons. This daily consumption is far in excess of the maximum storage and ',
<br /> woulci permit no provisions f'or f ire flow in the event of pump or pcxaer failure. '
<br /> I t is my rdcommendation that consideration be given to the increasing of the present
<br /> storage capacity to approximately 500,000 gallons through the installation of an
<br /> addition al storage reservoir at the present site. Any future development on up the ,
<br /> hill should have additionai �torage to adequ ately supply the proposed subdivisian.
<br /> As mentioned in my June 17 letter, the installation of the 60 h.p. motor originally
<br /> planned, and the replacement of the City�s concrete drainage pipe which was removed
<br /> during the Oddstad Homes construction activities, should be installed as soon as
<br /> possible.
<br /> This was followed by discussion in regard to whether or not there would be any new
<br /> sub divisions in this area and the possible water storage. The Mayor asked Mr. Jain '
<br /> if they could hold this up for a study meetin� on L�ednesday ni�ht. Councilman Herkner '
<br /> - was of the opinion triat the City Engineer should contact Mr. Oddstad immediately and
<br /> then bring his findings to the study meeting on Wednesday. This was f'ollowed by
