SEWER SERVICE- A letter was read from Mr. H. L. Carter, Supt., Patton State
PATTON STATE Hospital, directed to the Construction and Maintenance Super -
HOSPITAL visor, Mr. Ray O'Dell. Said letter requested additional in-
formation regarding negotiations for connections of the Patton
State Hospital Sewage Disposal System to the District lines.
Manager Rickert reported that to date he had heard nothing
further from Attorney Wilson regarding these negotiations but
that it was his understanding an agreement would be submitted
to the State in the very near future.
BASE LINE SEWER ' A letter was read from Wallace D. Harkins of Daniel, Mann,
EXPLCSION Johnson & Mendenhall, regarding the explosion on the 28th
of July in the Base Line Street sewer main. Mr. Harkins
reported this accident had been referred to the Contractor's
insurance carrier. The immediate cause of the accident was
due to the striking of a match by one of the contractor's men
at a point where a pipe laying was in progress. Representatives
of the Southern California gas Company conducted investigation
which disclosed the following:,
One of their copper service lines, which crosses
Base Line Street and the sewer trench, from South
to North, was leaking. This service line is located
approximately thirty feet West of the Centerline of
Elm Street, and it is served by the gas main along
the Southerly line of the pavement on Base Line
Street. Excavations at the intersection of the
service line with the main indicated that the copper
service had pulled out of the main. The leak was
stopped and the service line connection was repaired.
The Gas Company reasoned that, since the service
line was not leaking at the time the sewer pipe
was laid, the operations of backfilling the trench
had placed an undue strain on the service line,
causing it to pull out of its connection to the
main. This appears to be a reasonable conclusion. ".
Mr. Harkins reported that the damage, if any, would be repaired
and the entire length of the line be subjected to a hydrostatic
test and inspection to be sure it is in good condition.
RALEIGH WATSON Discussion was had regarding purchase of the Raleigh Watson Well

all It was the oonclusiowiat the Board that this well would be a
definite asset to the, district.
Upon motion by Director Brooks, duly seconded by Director Taylor,
and carried unftnaimq a975t, purchase of the well known as the
Raleigh Watson 1 111m arguthprized in the amount of $125.00 sub -
ject to negotiation with the government since the well is located
on government property, and subject to certain tests of the well.
