When the secondary water comes in that will open up more taps. SEWER Steve reported that we have about 40 sewer connection available. At some point we will have a problem getting rid of the water, it's not as easy as it was 12 years ago to get rid the treated water. PARKS AND RECREATION Councilmember Hardy asked if we wanted to open the park back up to rentals next year. Steve asked are you talking about overnight camping or just for the day. I think it's a bad idea to rent it over night, if you do it overnight the locals stay away. We have had some issues with watering when we have overnight camping, do a day use, rent out the bowery's and cook shack. The council agreed to open the park for day rentals and for day use..
