AM 12 1986 BOOK 66 FACE �4� <br />park. Also, since we now are moving ahead towards a county <br />wastewater system in the North County area, he felt we must take <br />an in-depth look at the overall situation before we require them <br />to add to a system that we may acquire and do away with. <br />Director Pinto confirmed that the Board has authorized the <br />Utility Department to investigate the possibility of taking all <br />of the small systems in this area out of the franchise mode into <br />a publicly owned system, and staff now is looking into the <br />possibility of building a large system in this general vicinity. <br />These utilities in Breezy Village and the neighboring park <br />probably will be front runners in that move; so, he could not <br />advise the Board to order the company to make a substantial <br />investment at this time,which they would have to recover through' <br />the rate structure, <br />Discussion ensued regarding the number of units involved in <br />the two parks, and it was noted there are 85 in Breezy Village. <br />Director Pinto Believed there are 300 some pads that can be <br />utilized at the other park,.but they are not all occupied. There <br />is a lot of potential, and he believed we can provide utilities <br />within the next year. <br />Commissioner Bird realized that if we require the fire flow, <br />the cost of the system will go.up and subsequently the rates will <br />rise, but he did not want to jeopardize the situation with the <br />possibility of infiltration if the fire plugs are drawn upon. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that if there should be a fire, you <br />put out a notice to boil the water and then disinfect and <br />chlorinate the lines and reestablish service. <br />Director Pinto pointed out that the problem is they are <br />under order from the DER to take those hydrants off the line. <br />Discussion continued re the need for fire hydrants, whether <br />or not they should be required in a franchise, the fact that they <br />do give the people a sense of security, etc., and Commissioner <br />Lyons asked if Director Pinto is recommending for or against the <br />connection for fire flow. <br />10 <br />
