Meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. April 6 at B'ville Communtiy Room

The results of a storm water drainage and drinking water feasibility study were the central topic of discusion at the March Burnettsville Town Council meeting.

At Tuesday night's meeting, Ken Smith of the engineering firm Fanning/Howey Associates explained that the priliminary engineering study is nearing completion and suggested that the project could proceed with a public hearing on the matter.

The council set the meeting for 6 p.m. April 6 in the Community Room.

Smith explained that the results of an aerial mapping survey of the town are in, as are the results of a water quality survey taken by the majority of the town's residence.

The study is looking into the possibility of a centralized drinking water supply for the town of about 400.

Left to do is drilling for possible well sites, which Smith said he anticipates could be completed in time for the regular town council meeting.

Smith explained that a priliminary engineering plan superimposed on an aerial map would put trunk lines along the main streets.

For the fire protection services, "Every house would be within 300 feet of a hydrant," he explained.
