According to the figures submitted the consulting engineer, it is more economical to rebuild the 22 mile line than to try to take water out of either Mosby Creek or the proposed Dorena reservoir because of the expense involved in treating the dam or ereek water. We are attempting to get opinions from other soureea as to the feasibil ity of the two methods open to the city to get its water supply and hope to have these ready to publish before the Sentinel goes to press. There are others who want to utilize the sump holes when consumption is heavy, but this is frowned on by the state health department. In the meantime we are forced to obtain water from n sys tem that has outlived its alloted span of life by some ten or fif teen years. If we won’t do something we may wake up without water and a city without water isn’t worth anything.
