MEMORANDUM

To:
From:
City Manager~~'
Utility Director
Re:
Sewer Extension - West 18th Street Between
Oleander Avenue and Mulberry Avenue
Mr. Faison -
I have had discussions with Mrs. Velma Williams, whose family
owns five lots on West 18th Street, concerning sewer service.
Mrs. William'S family plans on building a single family home on
Lot 16, Block 3 of Pine Level Subdivision (see attached map).
The City does not have sewer service'to this lot, but it can be
extended from the east approximately 450 feet. Mrs. Williams
does not want to install a septic tank, but wants to be on City
sewer.
The cost estimate {or the City' to extend this line to Mrs.
Williams property is $7043. This is a high cost for servicing
one lot in addition to the impact fees. Mrs. Williams is asking
the City to participate in the cost of this extension.
By extending this line we could service-future home~ on this
block. Since Mrs. Williams is ready to build now, I would
recommend that the City participate in the project by having her
pay for .the materials and City crews install the line. Material
costs are estimated at $2,331.25.
Your approval and presentation to the Commission for
authorization is. needed before the work can proceed. Your
comments on this proposal are requested.
