TRANSMISSIO�� LINES:
During 195� many improvements were made in the tran�-
mis�ion �.ines b�tUrEen the San I.uis REe}� River (and the City of
C�ceansid�) and Carlsbad, Th�s� i.m�rovemeents prQvided the share-

Ir� this ��xiod, 5,538 fe�t of 18" diamter steel ].ine
ins �alled i.n 1914 was clPaned and cement lined in place. T!��i.s
operation �aved th� �om�aany c�nsid�rable mc�n�y in cam�arisan to
installing a n�w line.
In location> where cleaninq and lining was not �easible,
27C� feet of r.ew �8 inch line and 218 feet of 21 i.nch linP was
installed to replace the original pipelin�. �elcw is shawn a

WAiER METERS and WATER SERVICES
The program Wr.��r�vvas started in 1953 to previd� all
shareFolders with met�rs of a size suited to their reqc�iremenis
an:� which, at the same tim�, would accu�at�ly meter thP water
deliv�red throug�a them, rontini�ed in 19540
,.� ��'
As the re�ult of. th�.s pro�ram, th� fo�.lowing �°chanaes
in m�ter sizes were made in 1954:
IIvTSTALL.ED: 60 - 5/8" Size Meters
72 - 3/4" Si�e Met�rs
REMOVED: 11 - 1" Size Meters
19 - 1!" Siz� I��eters
57 - 2" Size Metexs
8 _ �'r Size Mete�s
This indicates that th� 1.arcer m�:ters whicr are not
now fGlly requi.red are being re�lacecd at a satisfactory rate.
All new meters installed v�a�re fully tested.
Durina the yQa?', many ol�d deteriarated water service5
serving the sharehoiders were replaced with ne�v copper servic�so
This work was charged to Mairtenance.

It is important to the �hareholders t� knaw that all
wa�er mus+ be �aid for, whet�er or �ot it is meter�� to the share-
halders. Therefore the 62.3 acre faot loss in 1954 is a direct
loss of money to the shareholders. We are attem�ting �y a11
means possible to reduc� this loss, - namely �y the early replace-
ment of faulty pipelines, the repair and replacemenL of faulty
