CITIZEN ASKS FOR MORE WATER. Mr. A. A: Teeter, Jr., 4500 Drexel Avenue, asked
that Council follow through on its plans for two additional wells--and secure
more, if necessary to eliminate the annual sprinkling bans. It was explained
that Edina's difficulty results in the great disparity between the volume of
water used per day during 95% of the year (for which the present system is
entirely adequate) and the great volume used for sprinkling during the summer
dry spells--this being the highest per-capita volume in the country; that the
Council feels it is impractical to burden water users with high rates year-
around for the privilege of full-time sprinkling ten or iwelve dagSvr$gh year.
Telling Council he would be willing to pay higher rates2 &5°?,daer sald he
believes that taxpayers may be paying as much in repairs for ruined lawns as
they would be paying in increased water rates. He also suggested that Council
spend attitional moneys for laboratory equipment, saying the Hater Superintendent 's
present laboratory is one which %auld make any high school kid stick up his nose".
