Status: To be ready by the end of April 1995. With the substantial completion of these elements, the Director of Public Utilities has advised me that we should proceed with the next portion of Portsmouth's phased program for the improvements at the Lake Kilby Plant. This next element includes: The final design (including geotechnical work) and completion of a bid package for the Phase III work; regulatory review by the State Department of Health; and advertisement and acceptance of bids for the Phase III work.

In keeping with Council's past direction, we are proceeding in a phased, deliberate and well thought manner in addressing Portsmouth's compliance with evolving water regulations.
