Your memorandum asked seven questions. The <br /> answers to these are as follows: <br /> CVL <br /> ENGINEERING <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL 1. Size of water line? <br /> MUNICIPAL <br /> •PLANNING <br /> There are no water lines currently constructed in the extreme Western Area of Elk <br /> SOLID WASTE River.
