Water Systems Engineer Neil Kaufman, over a phone interview on Thursday, July 24th spoke about more work that would be included in the contract that came in at a total cost of $895,000.

Other streets that are included are: Hansel, Chamonix, and Skislope near the Boat Storage, said Kaufman.

Work had started on the 21st of this month with an expected end date of August 15th. That's a huge estimate for ending the work if one could only see the rate and the amount of pipe that needs to be laid.

Kaufman says that the total footage is 8800 feet. And other work than the 3000 feet on Northwoods would be scattered to the above areas which also includes service laterals and fire hydrants.

But last Wednesday at the Truckee Regional Park those in attendance were given quite a show from the Johnnie Bias band. My crew and I arrived while the band was still doing sound checks. You couldn't hardly tell that they were into that for it seemed as if they were throwing out the intro to the night that was so full of rock and roll tunes. These tunes could be heard all the way to a friends house over by the Ponderosa Golf Course.
