IONS AND PETITIONS City Manager Merritt presented a request from the Big Bear Timber Com- pany for immediate connection to the city water system. The company seeks this service to improve their fire protection, assist in fire in- surance rates , and to spray pine logs and timber during the summer months to prevent discoloration . They indicate a maximum demand of 200 gallons per minute, on a 24-hour basis during the hot season. Manager Merritt stated that the Planning and Public Works Departments have reviewed the request, and recommend that if water service is ap- proved, the me-ter size be restricted to a 2-inch domestic meter. The water line the city has across the wash was put there some years ago to serve homes on the north side of the river. A 2-inch meter would providd approximately 200 gallons per minute continuous flow, which should be e sufficient for the company' s operation without seriously impairing water ater service to other users connected to the same line. He summarized the e ar charges which would normally be assessed for a connection of this type - water stock, payment into water stock acquisition fund, frontage charge, meter charges, reduced pressure backflow device - which would total ap- proximately $60, 000. Mr. Hill, of Big Bear Timber Company, stated that this amount is prohibitive, and they are working on other ways to achieve the water they need . 1J.Lc,,UII"5U t UU, l..LCU11St', LUU_ :Lv.L Ulyal_L/- c_LUJI. lApp-Luv i UJ ulli_;; Waiver is recommended by the City Treasurer.
