Line Extensions: South Highway Water District okayed the water line extension for Mr. Wayne Calhoun. The following is submitted by Mrs. Forby: “On May 16, I was told by the City of Carbondale that the Calhoun water line extension has been approved at the Board meeting and that it now had to be signed by Carol Frye. A week and a half later I had yet to receive this statement so I called back.” After talking to several people who kept telling me that they knew nothing about it, I contacted Mr. Frye’s secretary. She told me that Mr. Frye had to talk to their lawyer about the extension approval. I then asked to talk with Mr. Frye. He told me that it was not necessary for BPWD to get an okay from Carbondale because we do not purchase water from them directly but from SHWD. The reason he talked to his lawyer was because SHWD was about to go over their contracted 20 million gallons and that if this extension would put them over they would have to renegotiate with Carbondale, before they could okay our extension; so he told me not to worry about it then, it was SHWD’s problem”. Mr. Brieschke submitted the following be entered into the minutes: “I would like to go on record concerning the probable water shortage which may result in SHWD’s over extending its allocation of water form Carbondale, understand, SHWD is at, or very near its monthly maximum allowable gallonage which can be purchase from the City of Carbondale. The implication is that SHWD will restrict Buncombe from adding new taps and thus keeping us in a permanently marginal financial condition with respect to expansion for optimum operating efficiency despite our contract which state that they will supply all the water we require”.
