Mr. Rowland reviewed the history of the Shuttle Meadow Reservoir and related that
the watershed surrounding the reservoir which New Britain intends to purchase had
been recon,en ded for purchase by the :'=alcolm Pirnie Associates a long while ago.
In addition he described the location of the proposed new reservoir proper which
would be located in Southington.
In addition, Or. Rowland discussed the fact that an engineering survey soon to be
completed could result in a recommendation that New Britain purchase property around
f
Cliv Harts' Ponds to protect that water �r a future reservoir.
There was agreement that both proposals were in Berlin's best interests because
we are dependent upon New Britain for water and that ro conflicts existed with
our Commission's interest in land in the area for recreational purposes.

prevailed.
