Subject:Failing water pump?

Jeez, if it's not one thing, it's another. There's this nice new sound
coming from the engine, just about where the water pump is. A low-pitched
grinding or growling sound that fades in and out. With the belt removed,
the sound does not happen. Water pump pulley does not rotate real
smoothly. Symptoms of a failing water pump? Fix quickee-quickee?
