PINTO <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILITj SERVICES <br />FROM: JOHN FREDERICK LANG qV <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIIST <br />DIVISION OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />DATE: AUGUST 31, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: WATER MAIN PROJECT FOR BREEZEWOOD PARK, <br />LITTLE PORTION SUBDIVISION AND <br />SUNNYDALE ACRES REGION <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Division of Utility Services has received a petition in the past <br />to construct a looped water main extension for 71st Avenue, 71st <br />Court and segments of 18th Street and 16th Street south of State <br />Road 60. <br />The neighboring Wedgewood Project's construction has brought the <br />public water main underneath State Road 60 and due to renewed interest <br />from the area's residents the Division of Utility Services <br />recommends proceeding with the project. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The groundwater in the area is of poor quality due to high <br />concentrations of iron and hardness. Thus the three subdivision <br />region described above is a prime candidate for connection to the <br />public water system now that it is available. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Division of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners authorize the preparation of detailed cost estimates <br />for engineering and construction, the work authorization for <br />engineering and a preliminary assessment role: In the past, a <br />petition was presented to the Division of Utility Services, however, <br />due to the costs associated with boring underneath State Road 60, <br />the residents chose not to fund the project. A twelve inch public <br />water main now exits in close proximity to Little Portion <br />Subdivision, Sunnydale Acres and Breezewood Park and the Division <br />recommends proceeding with the project by forced assessment instead <br />of having -the project delayed further by waiting for another <br />petition to be generated. <br />28 <br />
