Notable Quotes (2)
The last time the city had a pump which was this last fall over a course of seven weeks it cost them sixteen thousand dollars.
It is a project to benefit the residents around Mary Lake because it's encroaching on their property and it just sort of seemed logical to me that they'd be the ones that would be paying for this.
