Engineers to Weigh
81 Million Project

Plans for a 81 million water
pipeline from Dalecarlia Reser.
voir to the town of Fairfax arr
being studied by engineers anc
the town council.
Council members agreed Fri
day to permit an engineering
study Of the economic feas-
ability Of the project. The prof.
ect could bring a big water sup.
ply into Fairfax County vel
ahead Of the 500 million to $34
million program now being con.
|sidered by the Board of County
Supervisors.
Financing Arrangement
A town spokesman said thu
pipeline could be incorporated
into the county system later
without any diff1culty. and would
be designed with that idea in
mind. Both Falls Church and
Arlington now get water from
Dalecarlia. Fairfax County plans
to use the same source.
The town council has ar
ranged to finance the project
with revenue bonds through q
Chicago finsncial institution,
Stiefel Nicholaus. Engineers
studying the economic feasabil-
ity have been employed by the
financial house.
Exact route Of the proposed
line has not been determined
The county plan contemplates q
pipeline from Dalecarlia along
Chain Bridge road. II the town
line follows the same route. 1t
could bring water to Vienna,
Oakton and other huilt-up resi-
dental communities that now
rely on wells.

its water from wells. Tylei

wen be in a desperate shape
for water before too long," he
added.
/ Mr.. Swetnam said the towr
was not trying to beat the
county to the water business
but was interested solely in get.
ting a supply as rapidly as pos.
sible. He explained that it might
take some time for the county
to proceed since the overall prof.
ect involves so much money ane
legal complications over acqui'
sition Of private water com
panies.
Mr.. Swentam was optimistic
about the economic practically
Of the project. He said the towr
water system already has about
4,400 customers. He said the
town and the bond firm that
proposes to finance the project
expect an answer from the engi-
neers within go days.
