CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES PREPARED HARRY E. ASHER AND STAFFED ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES BY: SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF WATER MAIN EXTENSION TO SERVICE RESIDENTS OF 9TH AVENUE BACKGROUND Seven of the current ten residents of 9th Avenue (south of 2nd Street) have requested County water service due primarily to the questionable longevity of their existing wells. All seven have signed agreements with the County, agreeing to the estimated assessment to defray cost of construction by the County. ANALYSIS The County policy of extending service to its citizens as rapidly as possible will be continued by construction of this water line. The majority of residents on the 9th Avenue cul-de-sac have requested water service and have signed agreements to pay their share of its cost. Rapid consummation of the project is necessary due to 1) residents' wells being unusable, and 2) forthcoming paving of the roadway. Project consists of construction of approximately 550 l.f. of 6" and 4" line, service lines, and a fire hydrant at an estimated cost of $11,700. Engineering is being performed by Indian River County staff. Funds for the project will come from Account No. 472-000-169-078.00. (See attached agreements and map for details). RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve construction of the 9th Avenue water line extension. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved the construction of the 9th Avenue waterline extension as recommended by staff.
