Brown outlined for <br /> <br />Council certain recommended improvements and expansions in the City's water <br /> <br />utility system, being a segment of--but not a completion of--the improvements <br /> <br />program developed in 1957. This segment consisted of: <br /> <br /> <br />(1) an elevated storage tank (1,000,000 gallons capacity) on New York <br /> <br />Avenue, site for which is in process of being acquired; <br /> <br />(2) a transmission line from Armory Road to proposed new elevated tank; <br /> <br />(3) the covering (or enclosing) of three open reservoirs, at a cost of <br /> <br />$72,000.00~ <br /> <br />(4) treatment of said open reservoirs for stabilization; and <br /> <br /> <br />(5) the engineering costs involved. <br /> <br /> <br />It was pointed out to Council that this construction would cost approximately <br /> <br />$416,000.00, for which the City has $375,000.00 in available water utility <br /> <br />funds, but such construction would not meet total system needs which might <br /> <br />cost an additional $300,000.00. These additional needs included a new <br /> <br />transmission line from the present filtration (or treatment) plant to <br /> <br />"downtowL" Martinsville; an elevated storage tank, preferably in the Fairy <br /> <br />Street-Booker Road area; and an enlargement of the transmitting capacity of <br />
