21 August 1977 <br /> Page 2, <br /> without the influence of our well, it stands to reason that it could survive the <br /> additional 2" loss for Holland MEi1ls running full speed ahead. <br /> Bch brings ane to the reality check: The real amount of water needed to <br /> feed our thirsty town for, at least the next five years is less than half the <br /> maximum draw from Holland mitis. The drop the water table will be less <br /> than an inch. This is the true backdrop for concerns you sent to Secretary <br /> Coxe. Make no mistake, your comments carried a lot of weight.
