In the Queensbury District the following work was completed:

This has proven to be a great time saver. We have repaired and/or
thawed 3 Fire hydrants. , The bills have arrived and we will start
to print them next week.
The test project in the well field was completed.
We received a call from the W.C. , Sheriffs office Sunday, March 28
to the effect that water was running from the Laundromat at Sears
Shopping Center. On investigation it,-was found that their boiler
had developed a leak and the owner was notified.
The treatment plant was inspected during March by the new district
Engineer of the State Health Dept. We also spent one day with
Mr. Alex Cooper and Mr. Charles George, Chemical Engineer for the
Warren Chemical Co. discussing the North Rd. Garrison Rd: , section.
This department has undertaken the study and execution of a public
relations program. We feel that this is necessary in order to help
the public become aware of the services of the water department,
and the problems involved in providing these services.
-- ; In the West Glens Falls District the following work was completed:
A leak was reported by Mr. Paul Saville, Garner St. , Upon investigation
it was found the section of 3/4" service line between the main and the
curb box had developed a leak. -The street was excavated and the line
replaced. We had trouble replacing this line due to the fact that
the main line valves in this section would not hold and we had diffi-
culty shuting down the water.
