Transcription
4 depths. The only possible alternate supply would be from Lake Mead. The Colorado River water is heavily mineralized, and is therefore an extremely hard water. It is usable for domestic purposes, but must be heavily chlorinated, and as those of you who have had occasion to drink or use the water at Boulder City know, it is far different from the water you now enjoy, I have recited to you the picture as we see it, and I hope the situation will be given your most serious consideration. The problem we are all confronted with is the conservation and protection of your domestic and industrial water supply. For your own best interest every effort should be made to bring about enactment and enforcement of ordinances and statutes to stop waste of water to protect the future of the area.
