SUNDAY. MAY S. 19S2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON Maintaining Adequate Water Supply Problem in City of Talent TalenWMaintaining an ifl quale water supply during thiSsummer months is beconv Ing more and more o a prob lem in the city of Talent, and city councilmen are now planning steps to do some' thine about the situation. The council proposes to build a new water filtration and treatment plant on Wag ner creek, taking water for the city out of the creek. The . Ity's iurrent water supply iomes entirely from wells, and .water has run a little short during drier summers. "These new facilities would give us the capacity to handle 400 gallons per minute," ac cording to Mayor Wayne Relchstein. "Our present well capacity, by comparison, is just a little over 100 gallons a minute. Adequate Presiura "We'll also have adequate pressure for all customers, and it should give us cooler, softer water," the mayor add ed. The city would pay Talent Irrigation district to replace water taken from Wagner creek, so property owners be low the filtration and treat ment plant would not be de prived of the normal flow of water. How would all this be fi nanced? Rcichstein said the council is planning to submit a bond issue to the voters, the amount to be in the neigh borhood of $173,000 to J180,- 000. The council hopes to hold the election before July 1 this year. Water supply is not the only problem facing the city of Talent. Mayor Reichstein Indicated that within the next year or two the city will probably have to enlarge its sewage disposal facilities. Two Reasons Ciiad The expansion appears to be needed for two reasons, to meet growing city needs and to accommodate the pro posed South Talent Sanitary district. Backers of the proposed South Talent district have asked the city council if their system could be hooked on to the city's sewer mains. And an engineer's survey of the proposed South Talent district recommends that it be connected to the city's system. I At present Talent has a sewage disposal plant about halt way between Highway BO and the route of Interstate Highway 5. .The council Is considering a lagoon type of sewage disposal system Rcichstein said, indicating that there is land available for lagoons at the present sewage disposal plant site. Aside from water supply and sewage disposal, the city of Talent is in pretty good shape, Reichstein feels. All but five blocks of its streets am naveH null A hiffh npr- centage compared to other cities in the Rogue valley.
