Contracts To Be Let for Planning of Post-War Water-Softening Plant
Contracts will soon be let for planning the proposed $2,000,000 water softening plant for the city of Dayton, it was announced Tuesday by Wallace Morehouse, director of water.
"Plans are going ahead," he said, "and they can be approved as soon as they are completed, although construction, of course, can not start until after the war."
Plans for buildings and installations will be made, and estimates drawn on the necessary materials.
The city commission reached a decision to obtain detailed plans for the water purification and softening plant some weeks ago.
Construction of the new plant would safeguard the present water supply and provide ample reserves for the next two decades.
To finance the new facilities, the city plans to issue water works bonds which would be retired by water revenues. Increased cost to house-holders will be approximately $4 per year, a charge which will be offset by reductions in soap consumption and slower depreciation of household equipment.
