To the Hutchinson Utilities Commission: This letter is written to inform the Commission that at the present time the Utilities has two wells. A short time ago the well located at the south side of the tracks started pumpting stones which resulted in plugged heat exchangers on the engines. We have just been informed by General Electric that the new generating unit will require 1500 gallons of water per minute. It is imperative that we have a stand -by well and that one be drilled immediately. This new well will have to be drilled before construction on the new building is started as it will be incorporated in the f oundation of the building. Therefore, I feel that the Commission should contract for the drilling as soon as possible in order to be assured of enough water for the present plant and also be assured of a well before the foundation for tt,e building is started. In my opinion we do not have the time to draw -up specifications and to call for bids and still be a blP to complete the well with a time limit. With the present condition, we would be in an impossible situation if the other well. broke down. Yours very truly, R. E. Young, Manager. 1 1 NNW GNMIRMA74M RVILDING FOR THE XVNICIPAL HLACT IC UTILIT ZS — BIDS CLOSE NOV, 24 Hutchinson, Minn.
