SAW ANGELO Wednesday May 23 13A Ballinger facing water crisis official says BALLINGER (SC) Ken CMfrl -project engineer for the new Ballinger Municipal Lake told City Council members Monday night that la facing a critical water bortage" The itatement did not come aa a but price to the counciL Supplemental water supply has been their concern for several months Choffel said council is faring a difficult decision In order to develop a supplemental water supply you must take immediate action" Be said there is a high probability of rain within the next SO to 40 days but if the rain does not come you are pro jected to run out of water by August 15 Choffel said he was basing the projection on water usage at the same period of time during loss and 1983 Be also explained the high rate of evaporation caused by the heat If the city rationed the present water supply by 30 percent It would extend the supply only nine days he said Be did not recommend rationing at this time Choffel said the time required to implement a supplemental water system necessitates immediate action The most feasible plan for water supply would be to bring the water from Lake Spence Dam where the water would be pumped down the Colorado River to the city he said He said it would be necessary to construct a pipeline down the Colorado River to Impound storage water and the plan would require the Installation of a temporary pump and laying of 3100 feet of temporary 12-inch irrigation pipe Be said the package cost would be about 140000 He said he is looking into the cost of leasing both the pipe and pump which would reduce costa Choffel said It would be necessary to secure a permit for the use of Spence water hum the Colorado Municipal Water District Also it would be accessary to procure easements for water use from land owners on Colorado River who have irrigation rights or permits Be said water quality from Spence is poor but when the water is mixed with water with the old Ballinger Lake it would improve to some degree Be also uid as soon as the temporary pump and pipeline are in place water will be pumped into the new Ballinger Lake and the level in the lake will be monitored for a time The new pump station and treatment plant at the lake will be fully operational by June 15 Choffel said "When we have finished monitoring the lake and the pump station to see that everything is winking properly we will pull the plug on the Valley Creek Lake Dam and turn the water into the new lake" Chattel said adding that the com- -pletion date is set for August 13 The council voted to go ahead
