1941-02-04 Council MinutesWhile I realize in times past the City of ;Edmonds has invested considerable amounts of money in well drilling with perhaps no substantial'return on their investments,`I fell that you should not let these past experiences prevent you from making full us.e of an apparently adequate source of water supply. Vie do not recommend the drilling of a well there at the present time, but rather the sinking of a test hole in order to determine the feasibility of investing money in a full sized drilled well. We would therefore recommend that you contact, a well driller who has proven himself reliable and have him sink a test hole for you. 'Perhaps°it would be well to have two well drillers come up independently and get both their ideas in order that you might better judge for yourself.' A satisfactory development in that particular locality requires a high degree of skill and th`e following drillers for your coneiderdtion: James J. 'Bell and Sons., 6116 rourth"South, 'Seattle, and 0. 'L'. 'Erdman, 'Elma. May I take this opportunity to remind you that all new construction, extension and improvements to existing water supplies must receive the approval of this Department before construction is started, in accordance with Book V, part 2, of the enclosed rules and regulations of the State Board of'Health. Respectfully yours, Division of Public Health 'Ehginnering M.;S. Campbell, Asst. 'Pub`lic 'Health "Engineer. There being no further business by motion of the Council adjounred.
