• SEWER AND WATER COMMITTEE
_ The Sewer & Water Committee met on this date in the Committee Room at City Hall. Present
were committee members Nystul and Ruiz, Councilman Schindler, Mayor McDowell, DPW Hammer,
Supt. Hughes and Dennis Carver.
Bids North Main Sewer Trunk.
The bids received at the Special City Council meeting were reviewed. The Director of
Public Works and Supt. Hughes will review and report back tomorrow at the next meeting.
Fifth Avenue West Street Proposal
In consideration of replacing the main trunk sewer line now in First Alley West, it pos-
sibly could go down Fifth Avenue West. That would put the line around the mall so it
would not go under any buildings. If it does down Fifth, the water line probably should
be replaced and storm sewer installed. This would pretty well cause a rebuilding of the
whole street. Questions were raised about wideninT the street and of the existinv trees
The DPW and Supt. were authorized to proceed with the planning for the entire length of
Fifth Avenue West.
PROPOSAL:
An individual, Henry Marquardt, had contacted the Superintendent regarding water and
sewer to the vicinity of Reeds Potato Farm on Highway #93N. The committee felt this
was a little far to go.
*Randy Vickhammer. The Supt. announced that Randy Vickhammer, formerly of Evergreen Water
District had been hired as a replacement for Ivan Jones. Randy will start May 29th.
Ivan's last day is May 18-.
Water Quality Hearing
Supt. Hughes is to make a statement at tonight's hearing on water quality of Flathead
Lake. Basically, the position is that Kalispell will remove phosphorous from the WWTP
discharge, but otherg,septic tanks, should be required to do their part.
Meeting adjourned at about 5:00 P.M.
