First steps toward securing- a
new water supply for the Town
of Hertford wprp tnlr'n at a
special meeting of the ; .town
board last Monday night when,
the commissioners, in ' special'
session, voted to award a con
tract to the Heater Well Com
pany of Raleigh, to install a well
on a tract of land located about
one mile from, the town plant.
The board also voted to purchase
the acre of land where the well
is situated.
Last week the Heater firm :
drilled a test well at this site
and found a water supply at
threa different levels. Tests
showed the water was salty at
i levels of 44U and 310 feet- How-
l Chemical analyses of the wa.
ter from tne new wel1 wcre SUP"
Plied to the town board by both ;
'he Heater Company and N C,
State geologists.
Mayor V. N. Darden advised
the commissioners the Heater
firm in bidding for the contract,
P'anlation bv the town.
In discussing the proposal the -commissioners
were advised the
present well field, used by the
town, supplies about 150 gal-
the field is now producing at
capacity, with little chance the
production sudoIv . ..can be inJ
creased. -. '
Prior to voting to proceed with '
the installation of the well, the
board discussed the financing of
the project and it was revealed
sufficient funds are available to
pay for the well but some $15,000
to $20,000 will be nreded to in
stall pipe and other materials to
bring the water to the town
plant for treatment and distri
bution to customers. It was ,
pointed out a bond issue will
probably be needed briore the
town can proceed further with
the project once the well is in-,
stalled. i
No action was taken on this
matter at the -"meeting Mondav.'
However, the commissioners did .
discuss including . an electrical
nrniprt intn thp nrneram should'
a decision be: made to hold a .
bond election at an early date
to secure funds to complete the .
water project. :
Analysis reports on the new
water source, . the board was
told, reveals there is little hard-'
ness and acid contents; th!
supply contains no salt, and
there is some iron content, the
latter requiring treatment before '
distribution.
The $7,200 costs of the well
includes approximately $1,200 as
cost of the test well, thus In-
stallation of the permanent eight'
inch well will call for expendi- -tures
of about $6,000. The
town plans to pay the greater
portion of this amount from
funds secured from the sale of
the Grammar School property
last year. . ..!
