Probably doesnt help by the fact that the early settlers seemed to have the mentality of "Ooohhhh here's a lovely flat section of land by the river bend.... unpack the horses, we're building a town!"

As much as they looked, they just couldn't find a hill with a river on it for a water supply :lol:

Not sure, I'm guessing although it is pretty low out that way they are far enough from the main river. Yardy would be the best one to get any news from as he is out that end of town. Sorry can;t be anymore help.
