Mr. Britton reported on the Water Committee meeting. The Water Committee has recommended that the Town accept a bid for a test well from Fred Jones Well Company at an approximate cost of $3600.00 on David Nash's property. The Committee discussed the Walton Place Subdivision Well. They feel it will cost approximately $45,000.00 to connect this well to the Town System and this figure should be considered in the 1981 Budget. The Water Committee has also recommended that we try to return the Water Deposits to the people with a notification by the mail. Those that cannot be delivered will automatically revert to the Water Fund Revenue Account.
The Mayor reported that the water situation in the Town is becoming tight. It's not to a serious stage at this point, but if eventually it should come to that, we will have to adopt measures to take care of this problem.
Mr. Bass made the motion, seconded by Mr. Conner, to authorize Mr. Britton to proceed with the Test Well as proposed by Fred Jones Well Company on David Nash's property. (See copy of letter dated 9/8/80, Council file September 1980).

It was the general consensus of Town Council that the connection of Walton Place Subdivision Well to the Town System be held in abeyance for further study and be brought back to Council at the next meeting.
