The Council requested the following letters be made a part of
the official records:
October 2nd, 1959.
Mayor James J. Mahoney,
127 N.E. 2nd Avenue,
Boynton Beach, Florida.
Dear M~. Mahoney:
"For some time I have been considering the possibil-
ity of a water extension which could be be. neficial to. Boynton Beach.
Several years ago Delray Beach connected ~t.s water ma~n on North A1A
to Gulfstream and on the South to that of Hxghland Beach. Sealed
tgate va_Ives are norma.lly closed, thus separating the distributiom sys-
ems. From time to txme, however, emergencies have disrupted the
Highland Beach system, and Delray Beach supplied water until repaY, rs
were made.
In view of the proposed.annexation of school property, this ap-
pears to be an appropriate t~me to discuss the possibility of a con-
nection. If the property is annexed, Delray Bed.ch plans to extend a
water main on Seacrest Boulevard as far as the Hxgh School. Contin-
uation to Gulfstream Blvd. and extension of the Boynton Beach main to
that point would .m~.ke a connection possible. An emergency need for
water at the Hospital or the so_uth part of your system could then be
handled like those of Highland Beach.
If you feel that the proposal has merit, let me know, and I
shall arrange for a meeting with the City Council to discuss details."
/S/ I,VILLIAM E. LA'~¥SON JR
...... City ~anager ' -~
TO WILLIAM E. LAWSON JR October 8, 1959.
"Referring t.o your letter of October 2n.~, 1959 regardin$ consid-
eration of the Czty of Boynton Beach ~¥ater L~ne_to connect wzth the
water line of the City of Delray Beac.h with sealed gate valves in-
stalled, .please be advised that the Cxty of Boynton Beach is at the
t~me
present having a preli.minary survey of its water distribution
system made by our city engineers.
In view of the fact that the City of Bo~mton Beach will have to
await a report from the engineers on this preliminary survey, it will
the
be necessary to portpone meetin$ you request o~r to dSscuss details
of this pr.oposal. As soon.as the Cxty. of Boynton Beach ~s able to
