the Carlsbad Municipal Water District consider moving the office and yard out somewher
in the central area of the District if they could find a good logical site, and buy 1
or 2 acres .of land. With the future prospects of the growth of the District, we are
going to need a bigger yard for tools and equipment, and the fact the-City plans on pu
a street through from State Street to Rooseye1t~-Street.right by the present office and
would make the move more ideal.
