Townsend is mindful of the fact that the lack of an ade-

water service to this county area and to expand its system

Health for domestic water~

to connect the well to the City's Hadlock-Irondale distribution
system, and~

(2)
capital outlay on the basis of an annual~ semi-annual or
quarterly rental fee over a period to be fixed~ and upon such
