was required. (Dierking/Vera Lane, Wellington/Biesterfield,
Gibson/California, and Lee Street/Northwest Point Development) .

Water Purchase Agreement.

from the distribution system was required.
- Modifications to chlorinator equipment at #2,6,8,9 & 11.

- However some work in the area of system control can and should be
done after Lake Michigan water is being delivered.
- Project will probably involve several construction contracts and
maybe some direct purchase of equipment by the Village to ex-
pedite the project.
- The major piping contract should take about 3-1/2 months to design
and about four months to construct. other smaller contracts will
be designed and constructed concurrently over the next twelve (12)
months.
- Engineering design work should begin as soon as possible to meet
the May 1, 1985 deadline.
- Funds in the amount of $700,000 are included in the 84-85 Budget
for this purpose and are believed to be sufficient.
The committee members unanimously recommended that the Village Board at their
April 24, 1984 meeting authorize staff to immediately secure engineering con-
gUltante to begin detailed deign work for this project.
