At present, 12 inch pipe, lines from Morley Crossing to the city is 30 years or more old and should be replaced as soon as possible due to leakage, resulting in, a Joss of delivered water. The report prepared by the J. W, j Cunningham and Associates, con I suiting engineers, and included in part in the letter, shows that "The . upper dam site with 14 inch pipe ,: will produce 2,000,000 gallons pert cay at a cost per million gallons oi $97,050.
