MANKATO: A Town In
Profile
by Finlay Munro. City Clerk
For quite some time. the Depa~t-
merit of AgrietEture has been con-
ce~ned with the com~.ervatien of our
wa~er resources. Tune and again in
years pas¢. Ma~kato h, as had to
limi,t the uses of water. Unfortun-
ately, we are seven mKes from a
stable s~pply ,0f ~,ar~r but, for-
~unately, adequam wacer for the
foreseeable future i~ avaMable.
Water is a free commo4ity, but
transportation and s~orage are ex-
pensive.
The first weKs ~r Mac, kaY's
water st~pply were dug around
1889. IMueh prospeetir~g has been
do~e close to ¢o~n, but all have
~ailed ~o prod,uce a t~manen't sup-
ply. Three dug we/lls 20 feet m
diameter and 30 to 40 feet in d~th
were consu~uotod in 1912. I.n 1924
25 3 vnore we])'Is we~e d,r~'kled,
and a storage res~vOir cc~struetecl
southwest of town. In 1'927 a deep
water supply was sou~gt~t by dr~l.1-
ing 1200 feet into the Dekota for-
mation ,b~ the water obtaimed was
too sM,ty far d, emestic use.
I~ 1929 ~hree weMs were drilled
on ghe W~hi, te R~ck by the La3~rm-
Westm~ Cor~any, arid an 8-invh
su~pl7 .line ,was laid m ~h,e C~%y's
distri~bution system. ~n 1934. three
more .wells were dril~d on the
White ,R~ek. A,t ~his ~ime. ~he 8-
L~eh line was repaired and recon-
structed. In 1949 it was appare~
th, a,t the so~rce of s~pply was r~t
permarmn, t I~ 1954 our water sFm-
a~ion ayes again bec0ening cri, tical
due to previous ol~ma'te eond~ti'ows.
However. ~t was n~ed tha~ d, ur~n,g
period ~the Whige Rock Cree~
was still flowin,g, i~r~dieati~g .that
the ground reservoir in the W~ite
t~ock Va'Aey was stgtl o~erfl~ring.
I,n 1956. weMs 7 and 8 were drffied
el'o~er ¢o ~he Whi.te Rock fl~v.
The ean~leti~n of the ~11
Reservoir makes a perrrmment sup-
