Water Resources <br />Authority Advisory Committee was present for the Board's continued <br />discussion of MWRA's efforts to increase water supplies and the request of <br />"Clean Water Action" for a Resolution in opposition to diversion of streams <br />into its Wachusetts and Quabb i n reservoirs. <br />The proposed resolution emphasised only one of several options now <br />under consideration for increasing the water supply and Mr. Reilly advised <br />the Selectmen not to foreclose any of the other alternatives. He urged <br />strong support for water conservation, but recommended that the Board not <br />endorse the "non-diversion" resolution at this time pending receipt of <br />information which will be developed through a series of public meetings on a <br />long -range MWRA water study to be held this month, which he will attend. <br />He informed the Board that 25 to 30% of the water extracted from the <br />two reservoirs is unaccounted for between the distribution system and the <br />communities served, due to some extent to legitimate uses such as sewer <br />flushing, fires and the watering of playing fields, but largely due to major <br />leaks which must be found. <br />Mr. Eddison asked that Mr. Reilly return to the Board when more <br />information is available after the public meetings. <br />PROCLAMATION,, WATER CONSERVATION WEEK <br />Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to proclaim June 7th <br />to June 13th, 1336, as Water Conservation Weep in Lexington, in conjunction <br />with the Governor's acknowledgement of this effort, as requested by the <br />Mass.
