IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: Mr. C. F. McCall, President of the Board of n
Directors, Iredell Water Corporation; Mr. James A. Mize, Manager, Iredell Water
Corporation; and other members of the corporation were present to make a request
from the county for funds to finance the construction of a 200,000 gallon water tank
in East Iredell.
The corporation members informed the county commissioners that they had received
bids on a water tank and foundation for $167,700. This tank is to be located in the
N. C. 115 area. The companies bidding the tank and foundation said their bids
would be no higher on a second bid for the East Iredell area.
The company officials said a water tank is needed in the East Iredell area
partly because of the new Davis Community Hospital which is being constructed on the
Old Mocksville Road, which would lower the water pressure considerably because of
the large ouantities of water they would be using.
The board of commissioners asked that the Iredell Water Corporation officials
come to the September 20th meeting with some concrete ideas on payback of the county ,
funds and long range plans for the corporation's expansion.
