Re stated th8.t he had talked. to ranchers in his area and they 0 asreed that we need a full size line and if the 18 inch line will not provide tine neecled capacity, we shall need a bigger If The only wa.y to get water is to have a pipeline that is suffi- cient in size to bring in mater enough for the full area. Be was asked his opinion on incluaing the IbTeadow- lark reservoir in the Bond issue. He stated that he was strong: in favor of putting idieadowlark in the bond issue; however, if it will hurt chances of passing bond, it is something we can put off for a few gears - if we have encugh water ca.pacity in our lines so that we will not need. additional water storage. " Dfrector 3s;ald statea that we d.efinite2-y need a SOrs line 2nd a larke line should be the only one to consider. .&?e have been offered 2 contract to deliver water thrroubh our line until we fill out to capacity, It will help pay POP the line. As for inclu6.ick Keadowlark in the fssue it is not nec- essary to build extra storage space at this time. Director Za'hler stated that we must cut t'ne line down to possibly la1' in order to p2.s~ this bond. He achitted that it is more economical to build bigger line but we must pass this bond and the more money concerned the ha.rder it is going to be to pass. Ke explained that he is basing his opinic on citizens' i?eactions. Gn hieadowlark, he stated that we cannoi even consider it without shaving the size of the line down to at least 18".
