WATER RESTRICTIONS, STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Kasch handed out another memo (See Exhibit C) stating staff recommendations for lawny watering restrictions. 1. Water every 3rd day 2. Use Voting Ward's for watering rather than the Circle, Diamond, and Square method. 3. 6 AM to 9 AM OR 7 PM to 10 PM, but not both times 4. New lawns, new sod, water daily; 11 AM to 1 PM. Notices to be sent out Sunday and Monday, door to door. Mayor: The first week, a "hot-line" should be in effect. Leary: Pressure in highs zone is not adequate. Kasch: That will be resolved with the new Howard Berry plant and the elevated tank. Leary: This should haves been done prior to construction of homes. Wurl: When Howard Berry Plant comes on-line, there will be high zone, mid zone, and low zone. Leary: Equity? More waster is needed for new lawns, will this 3 day mortarium on new lawns ruin them? The 11 AM to 1 PM, and working people, how will those hours benefit them? Leary suggested that all new lawns from here on be postponed to the Fall season. Cussen suggested the meeting move onto the Public Hearing portion. E. PUBLIC HEARING, INPUT FRGM CITIZENS Chris Fair, 549 Adams. This is a serious problem which could adversely affect our community. ]: am glad to hear that Mr. Kasch has taken adequate steps to come up with a plan of action. However, my concern is planning, ie, growth projections, take another look at it. Marilyn Waldo, 688 W. Dahlia. I disagree, I don't think the problem has been solved. We have put a lot of money into landscaping, and had we known a month. ago of this water crisis, we certainly would not have planted so extensively. We had been told again and again there was plenty of water, hati+e heard many stories of what the cause of this problem, including the ane that 2 of the plant is shut down for construction. I am most unhappy about the whole thing, and I have been betrayed.
