Director Pinto again assured him of the health and quality standards the water met, agreed that the wells in his area were poor, and recognized that certain individuals have certain tastes. He offered an analysis of the water at any time in an effort to assure him that it meets all standards. Chairman Macht asked for a copy of the Federal standards and a copy of Indian River County water tests for information purposes. Commissioner Tippin expressed great satisfaction with the water he received from the same water main on Oslo Road. Scarlett Beach, 2345480th Avenue, Vero Beach, asked when the project would be started, when it would be completed, and wanted assurance that her property would be restored as it was before the construction. She also inquired whether it was required to hook up, since she had a well and septic system that she was very happy with and had recently spent about $1,000 to achieve that. Director Pinto estimated the construction would take a year and about 18 months before the first assessment. The assessment covered the lines and the available benefit, but she did not have to connect; sewers were not being installed. He further advised that a video of the entire area would be taken to ensure that the properties would be returned to their original condition. Ms. Beach also inquired .if the County was planning to blacktop her road so they will not have the water drainage problem they experience now. Public Works Director Jim Davis advised of the County's Petition Paving and Drainage Program, but he believed there was not presently a program for that particular street. Sam High, 1925 22nd Avenue, Vero Beach, and owner of land in the Oslo Park area was assured that this hearing was relative exclusively to water expansion plan UW -93 -32 -DS. He referred to the charts and advised that he was familiar with the area the project is supposed to cover. He asked if the expansion plan now cover land to the west of 27th Avenue, 13th Court SW. He advised that he was opposed to projects to deliver water into areas without paved roads and heavier population. He was assured that water service for the heavier populated area was in progress. It was suggested that he go to the Utilities Department so they could clarify the project area. Commissioner Adams advised that one thing that drives water improvements is the Health Department, which will not allow development in certain areas without sufficient water service, not whether the street was paved nor the location or value of the home. 24 January 10, 1995 NN 0AaC 9
