Mr. Billingsley stated that he had made contact with the Clarks and that Mr. Clark had said that he is trying to sell the mobile home, however; no action has been taken. It was also noted that Mr. Clark had been invited to attend the Town Council meeting to discuss this issue and was not in attendance.

Dusty Wilkinson gave a water update. He explained that spring #2 is plugged and losing water at an average of 50 gallons per minute, he hopes to have some help in getting it fixed within the week. He then explained how the system works and how the water is distributed. He cautioned that the pumps are being used for the primary drinking water and cannot be used for both irrigation and culinary water. He also cautioned that he is having a hard time keeping up with the demand on the water. Tina Mitchell was asked to send a letter out to the residents, informing them of the water situation and reminding them of the water restrictions in place. Dusty also noted that, with the way the irrigation system is currently set up, adding additional irrigation connections could make it very difficult to keep up with the demand. He added that a long term solution would be to drill another well, using water rights that Annabella already has. Mayor Christensen asked Dusty to check on the cost of having another well drilled. The Town Council then discussed placing a moratorium on any new irrigation connections. The issue will be discussed during the August 4th Town Council meeting so that it can be voted on when all councilmembers are present. 4
