We need a plan and financing to do this project. Just doing the first part of trying to find the location of the water will cost about $38,000. We could try getting a grant to pay for it, but we will need to decide as a Town Council. We need to talk to the State Water Rights people. Terry Monroe is a contact for us.
We will have an emergency meeting later in the month to vote on this. We will add it to next month's Agenda to talk to the Town about the situation.
