Commission manager Evert Middel
reported that the new water reservoir is
operational and that town water is passing
through the reservoir as it makes its way
through the system. The new reservoir
was built to even out the water supply and
water pressure by maintaining a large

available during peak supply periods.
Middel confirmed there will be no more
valleys of low pressure but that restric-
tions on the use of water during the•sum-
n'fer months will not be lifted until the
water supply is monitored this summer.
The commission decided to hire four
students for summer help this year and in
