If we had $150 for every tractor in the field the study would be paid for by now!

As I drove up to the White Cloud Casino last night there were a lot of tractors out in the field.  Since everyone was making use of daylight and good weather I think this affected the attendance at the meeting.  The second meeting on April 11th was to inform anyone who missed the first meeting so if you attended at least one of the meetings you got the information you needed.

At the end of the meeting 17 checks had been collected.  A map of the area has been provided below to show the the interested households.  Since this posting is on the internet, I have left names off the map.  If you want to know what neighbors you need to talk to give the District office a call at (785) 474-3407 to get names.

Map of potential expansion area.  Customers initially interested in water are green with the declining person marked as red.  Purple dots represent applicants who have paid $150 for the study. (Click on the caption for a link to a larger image.)

At this point in time, if you are one of the purple dots, look at who lives south of you and talk to those neighbors.  The idea is to connect to existing District pipelines to the south and continue northward.  The more customers that sign up between you and the pipeline, the better chance that we can get water to you.

The deadline for checks if April 25th, so we have just under two weeks to get the final number of checks.  I am planning to keep an updated map on this blog so everyone can see where we have a yea or a ney.

Good luck!
