If the city continued the present Little Deer Creek use and purchased raw water from the NID the cost would to to $16. If the Little Deer Creek use was continued and treated water was purchased from the NID the cost would riseto $20 and during periods of trubidity all water would have to be purchased from NID. Under thisproposal it was suggested that the city could also develop smaller sources of water, use Little Deer Creek and also purchase treated NID water. This would cost $17.50 to $18 per acre foot. Heidrich also suggested that the city's Deer Creek water rights real value and the city could consider negotiating to sell them in return for purchased water. This might set the price of water at $25 to $30 per acre foot. Finally, he said the city could give up its own Supply completely and buy treated water from . the NID which he said he a understands will cost $36 to $40 per acre foot.

In answer toa question, Heidrick said the study in progress covers only the existing city systems and does not take into account areas now served by the NID, but he added the recommendatiors in the study would be broad enough to cover future growth. The city is now faced with a tremendous water loss in thé area of 200, 000 gallons a day and no one is certain at this point where it is all goAvailable Nevada City Is Told ing. Hedrick pointed out that usuage is always; higher ona flat rate systemthan on a metered system, but he also noted that in other areas, use had continued to rise even on metered systems due to increased use of. household appliances. The firm is continuing tests to determine where all the water is going and this is one of the reasons why the final report is not yet ready. Itis expected that the city Should have the final report and recommendations by the end of November. Grass Valley Looks At TwoPhase School Building Program (Cont. from Page 1) sessions would be ended at the completion of the first construction phase at the old Gilmore Airfield west of Grass Valley. The proposed building program has been split into two phases, because of legal requirements restricting the district to the sale of bonds totaling five per cent of the assessed valuation of the district. This would limit the first issue to about $1 million. Even though the district would be limited to the sale of only about $1 million in bonds, the superintendent recommended that the total two phase issue of $2 million be put before the voters. Then, he pointed out, as. assesed valuation increased and the first issue was retired, the district could raise more money by selling bonds already approved by the voters. The first phase would cost approximately $1, 221, 020 for the. plant: to house grades 6-8 and the second phase plant for kindergarten through fifth grades would cost $826, 000. Bond noted the district now has an enrollment of 1,509 students and is operating on Couble sessions. Enrollment projections indicate there willbe 2,026 students by 1972 and no facilities at this time to handle this growth. Nevada City Will Take Another Look At The Parking Problem Nevada City's parking problems are going to be studied some more in an attempt to narrow down the parking lot project to something the city and those in the business district can afford. This was the decision reached Monday night after the City Council met with Sacramento Park parking consultant, Dr. D. Jackson Faustman, He said he would recommend the city shoot for one parking lot at this time and he would chose site two in the plan which runs from Pine Street along Spring toward the rear of the National Hotel. This facility would cost under $100, 000. Faustman said he would like to work with the parking committee further and break down the problem into a smaller projectand obtain actual costs. Parking committee chairman Willard Rose polled the members of the committee in the audience and they agreed to further investigation of a smaller project would also be a good idea.
