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.
