~ Mr. & Tars. Dave Rose and Dr. L. Nelson'.-,.pppeared before the Board to
complain about the lack of water during' he past two weeks due to frozen
pipes and a temporary water shortage, Considerable discussion took place
relative to the general operations of the Districts water system and it
was explained by the directors that everything possible was being done to
maintain service under the extreme cold conditions prevailing. It was
explained that the temporary water shortage was occasioned by the. ,.tre-
mendous drain on the water system caused by so many of the custome'rSS .

that the District-, had no recourse by law to prevent this. It was further

supply of water. Due to a lacy of funds it was explained that it may
take a year or more to fully remedy thbr' situation.
