Water Co. last week consummated Mr. Turner has a wife and two
the purchase from Western Pacific ] sonn. They have been making
of the 4-inch supply line to the
W-P water tank• The considera-
tion involved in the transaction
was not revealed.
Starting from the 12-inch water
main near the W-P depot, the
newly acquired line parallels the
railroad tracks a distance of 2700
feet to the water tank. From
this point the line will be con-
tinued through. Hideaway. Park a
distance of 300 additional feet to
the east end of the railroad over-
pass leading to Sleepy Hollow,
and there connected to the 4-inch
line on the trestle, Bidwell advises.
With two 4-inch lines feeding
the existing 6-inch pipeline going
East on Highway 89, water con-
saner in the East Greenville area
will benefit from the improved
service•
"Farsightedly anticipating a
possible sortage of materials we
managed to secure necessary pipe
and fittings with which to com-
plete this project, just before the
hoarders started buying up criti-
cal materials, and will start work
as soon as the weather permits,"
said Mr. Bidwell in an interview
yesterday. The new lines should be
completed by June 1 at the latest,
he added.
