approved a plan to relocate an
80 horsepower pump to ease
flooding problems.
The pump is presently
located on the shoulder of
Dunbar Road and frequently
floods because of inadequate
drainage. The pump is fed by
a six (6) inch pipe from the
Elberta water system and
supplies Dunbar Road and
Heritage subdivision through
a four (4) inch pipe About 80
water customers are supplied
by the pump.
County engineers Tribble
and Richardson surveyed the
problem and recommended
moving the pump to the top of
a slope. They suggested
replacing the Dunbar Road
four inch pipe with a six inch
pipe.
They further stated, “We
further recommend that long
range planning be done on the
Elberta system to determine
future needs of the area. A
second elevated tank, located
on Dunbar Road, with booster
pumps to fill the tank may be
an answer to the supply and
pressure problems ex
perienced in the area.” The
opinion came via a letter from
Joe T. Wright, an associate of
Tribble and Richardson.
' Commissioner Steve Byrd
moved to have the pump
moved, was seconded by Alton
Tucker, and the motion passed
unanimously. Tucker also said
he agreed that the long term
solution meant putting up an
elevated water storage tank.
The project will cost $1,386.26.
