_ 9(b) Extensions to, and, or in real estate subdivisions: Construction will be undertaken only under special' contract the entire cost of the extension to be advanced to the company•*that sum being subject to refund to the party making the advance to the- extent of 50$ of the customers' monthly payments for water within a maximum period of ten years. 9(c) Water mains to and within Defense Housing'Projects constructed during the present national emergency.: The company will enter into contracts for the refunding of the cost advanced by the contracting party of construction within a distance from the company's nearest existing water main equal to not more than 20 feet multiplied by the number of houses which the contracting party agrees with the company to construct within the project. Such Housing Project must include the construction of not less than 20 dwellings, but at least one for each 50 feet of water main constructed within the subdivision. The mains shall be constructed at the cost of the contracting party, under the company's supervision and in accord with its specifications, and shall be owned, operated and maintained by the company upon completion of construction thereof. Refund of the cost shall*be made to the contracting party if and when the latter shall have completed the construction of the number of houses required by the contract, within 24 months from the date of the contract. (10) It is recommended that Wells Nos. 1 and 2 be cleaned out in order to secure an increase of water flowing through them. (11) Sufficient pressure should be maintained in the water mains to meet the needs of all customers. This should be assured by install ing booster pumps if and when needed. (12) I recommend that efforts be made to secure legislation in Nevada that will: (a) Provide for the capping of all artesian wells which are not in use, and to give the enactment teeth by providing that if the work be not done within a short, specified time, the county (or state) engineer shall have the well capped, the cost to be assessed against the property owner; (b) remove the prohibition against the use of customer meters in cities of more than 4,500 population, whereby the waste of water at Las Vegas can be fully controlled. 4.
