The Village Manager reported as follows: The residences, businesses, and industries of the Village have responded, almost miraculously, to the request to reduce the amount of water con- sumption in the community. Our consumption today is approximately 25% below what it was on August 9, 1983. The water level has ceased to dropping in the dramatic amounts it did around the 9th of August. It has stabilized and in some cases we've gained 6, 8, 10, or 12 feet of water above our pumps. We still are operating in that gray area where another drop in that water level could cause further problems in our water supply system. At this point in time the community has responded with total cooperation. On our behalf I'd like to compliment them for doing that. Steps are being taken which were authorized by the Board at the last meeting to drop our pumping facilities deeper into the ground. If the water level continues to remain stable or improve with Well Nos. 6 and 8 pushed deeper into the ground, we'll be in a position to reconsider the total water ban for outdoor purposes. It's conceivable that the water ban can be lifted in about a week or 10 days. We have to be satisfied that the water level that we have to reach is not dropping further away from us. 2. A Committee -of -the -Whole meeting is called for Monday, September 12, 1983 at 7:00 p.m. re- garding the Northwest Central Dispatch System. 3. Biesterfield Road is in a very active state of being widened and improved by the County. The major construction work should be completed before the end of this construction season. The exact time of transfer of ownership from the County to the Village has not yet been received. 4. The Lake Michigan �,jater project is still on schedule. Major sections cf pipe are being installed along the natural gas line right-of-way. - 4 - 8-23-83 The work in Mt. Prospect is better than 50; completed. Bids will be taken the middle of this month for two major reservoirs out along the systems for the pumping stations. Negotiations with the City of Chicago are continuing for the land lease on the east side of O'Hare Field and the negoiation will be concluded before the end of the month.
