The county received a preferred water rate. At Block 20, they had 12 taps, and rather than install 12 meters, they paid a flat rate. They now wanted to pay for one tap. Bettis was asking if the Las Vegas Land and Water Company could cut out the other taps and meter the remaining one.
Halsted proposed that the company not apply for water rights for the Las Vegas Springs but merely ask for a certificate since there were no conflicting claims.
The water company needed to take steps to ensure that the one million gallons per day that issued from the new sewage treatment plant would continue to go to the Las Vegas Ranch.
