JOHN ROBBINS APPROACHED THE BOARD CONCERNING THE SOUTH <br />BEACH WATER PROGRAM AND STATED THAT THE COUNTY HAD ASKED THEM <br />TO ANALYZE TWO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS FOR EXTENDING WATER SERVICE <br />SOUTH OF THE MOORINGS. HE CONTINUED THAT PLAN A WOULD BE TO <br />SERVICE WATER TO 27 CONNECTIONS; PLAN B WOULD BE TO DETERMINE <br />WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED AS FAR AS SERVING THE ENTIRE AREA, AND <br />TO INCLUDE WHAT ECONOMIC IMPACT THE FIRE PROTECTION WOULD HAVE, <br />HIS ANALYSIS FOR PLAN A WAS TO USE 150 GPD PER PERSON, AND FOR <br />PLAN B, AFTER TALKING TO ELLIOT GROSH OF THE CITY, AND USING <br />7100' EXTENSION OF WATER SERVICE, WOULD BE 255 GPD PER PERSON, <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES, <br />MR. ROBBINS COMMENTED THAT IN PLAN A TO SERVE THE 27 <br />RESIDENCES, THE COST WOULD BE $33,500 WHICH WOULD INCLUDE 2-1/2" <br />PVC LINE WITH SPECIFICATIONS COMPARABLE TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, <br />WITH FLUSH HYDRANTS AT THE END OF THE LINE. IN PLAN B, TO SERVICE <br />THE ENTIRE BEACH AREA, AND BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABLE PRESSURE <br />CONSTRAINTS, THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE MOORINGS ELEVATED WATER <br />TOWER, AND THE LINE WOULD BE 14,000' OF 12" DUCT IRON. HE CON- <br />TINUED THAT IN LOOKING AT FURNISHING FIRE PROTECTION, IT WOULD <br />COST $406,950, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE FIRE HYDRANTS EVERY 800` USING <br />MATERIALS COMPARABLE TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH WITH ADEQUATE <br />FLUSHING DEVICES; THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE METERS OR LEGAL FEES, ETC. <br />HEPBURN WALKER, OF ST. CHRISTOPHER BEACH, FELT THAT PLAN <br />A WOULD NOT WORK AS THE COST WOULD BE TOO MUCH. HE CONTINUED THAT <br />THERE IS A PROBLEM AS MR, SILVERMAN HAS A COMPETITIVE SYSTEM <br />LOCATED IN SEMINOLE SHORES. MR, WALKER COMMENTED THAT IF THE <br />OTHER FRANCHISE COULD BE CURTAILED, 20 TO 25 PEOPLE WOULD PAY <br />FOR PLAN A; BUT ONLY 15 TO 20 PEOPLE WOULD PAY IF MR. SILVERMAN <br />PROCEEDS WITH HIS FRANCHISE. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED -IF THERE ARE TAPS ALLOCATED <br />THROUGH THE MOORINGS IF PLAN A IS USED. <br />- ATTORNEY COLLINS SAID HE DID NOT KNOW IF THE SITUATION <br />HAS CHANGED WITH THE CITY. THEY DID APPROVE ALLOCATION OF THE <br />27 TAPS IN THE AREA SOUTH -OF THE MOORINGS AND HE HAS HEARD NOTHING <br />SEP 191979 53 Boa 41 PA -UE 567 <br />
