Utility Director Pinto noted that we have discussed this.for a long time, and he believed it is now time to move ahead. There is a tremendous amount of development taking place in the county, and it is important to be able to tell the developer what to plan on. Mr. Pinto emphasized there - have been some major changes in our system since the Master Plan was drawn; we are moving out on SR 60; we are considering dropping South Beach;and we do not have a plan at all for the North County. We really need to have someone come in and give us a good master plan. Chairman Scurlock felt this is an excellent idea, but did not feel it goes far enough. He believed we need to consider subregional systems for wastewater. Commissioner Lyons noted we really shouldn't be in the wastewater business unless we are in the water business, and the Administrator believed there are some proposals coming before the Board on March 9th in this regard. Chairman Scurlock concurred that this must all tie in. He noted that it will be funded through the Utility Department budget, and we have enough money. Commissioner Lyons brought up the point that we have never decided on whether we are going to insist that people get on the system. Utility Director Pinto believed that we must decide whether existing dwellings will connect, and also, when the developer builds, insist that he provide the lines so that when a major transmission line is run, they can connect. Commissioner Lyons felt strongly that we must face this issue as he did not believe we can continue to use the shallow aquifer on a private basis for potable water, and Chairman Scurlock noted that it is important to have a plan which will at least give the developer a general idea how we are moving along so thay we can tell him to put the dry lines in.
