Households in the drought- affected ru ra l a re a should be getting a steady supply of Bea ver Creek w ater by the end Of June? Rohde said. Since Tuesday or W ednes day of last week, water has been pumped from wells into the m ains to flush d irt out of the six-inch PVC pipes and to point out possible leaks or weak points in the system. When the testing and any repairs are completed, the w ater will be chlorinated, the m etal re se rv o irs painted, sandblasted and the system will be ready for operation. E ngineers will bring the w ater as far as individuals’ surface boxes and the condition of pipe from there to the dwell ings is the responsibility of own ers. T here may be as much as $40,000 left over at the end of the project, according to Rohde, and although it is up to the Tribal Council how the balance will be spent, Rohde sees the possibility of extending the system beyond its southernm ost point in the direction of Kah-Nee-Ta. The system as it exists now includes a new wellK pump sta tion and tre a tm e n t facility at Beaver Creek, two 100,000-gallon reservoirs - one at Simnasho and the other a mile and a half east of the cemetery, and a booster pump between the tanks. E stim ated cost of the sys tem, which has been under con struction since O ctober, was $720,000. Years of talk turned to action when funds were approv ed by popular referendum last September, freeing the Council to accept a low interest loan and grant of equal size from the Economic Development Admini stration. .
