It was pointed out that by providing only chlorinated water, the cost of the system could be reduced by 10 percent. This money, Koster said, would be used to build more pipelines to transport the treated water.

If it was turned out that it was not good, it would be 1975 before the NID got to the second stage of the treatment plant construction, Day said he thought the state would make sure the Cascade water would be of high quality and he moved that the council support the NID's stand (Cont. on page 20) Lt.
