The following Figures (3 through 7) depict the proposed sanitary sewer rehabilitation recommended to be completed as part of the street maintenance. It is recommended that the remainder of all necessary sanitary sewer repairs, noted in black on the figures, be completed as part of the City's annual sanitary sewer maintenance. This process will allow the City to receive a more competitive bid on the work. Water Main The needs in terms of water main were also discussed with the City staff. Several types of improvements were identified which can also be seen in Figures 3 through 7. WATER MAIN EXTENSIONS As described above under the proposed improvements labeled as A-l, B-1, and B-2, several streets in town are fully developed with City sewer and streets, but do not have City water mains. Mains are proposed for installation on these streets in conjunction with their street improvements, WATER SERVICE STUB INSTALLATION Some areas have City water main adjacent to their property, but have homes which are not yet connected to that main, nor is there a service stub extended to their property line. The City has developed a policy of requiring all properties within the city limits and adjacent to City water mains to be hooked to the system by no later than 2012. To facilitate this, it is recommended, that at a minimum, the City extend services to the edge of the right-of-way/property line for all homes which either currently have water main in their roadway or are proposed to have water main installed with this project. WATER SERVICE CONNECTION TO HOME Requiring homeowners to hook to the City's water system in conjunction with the proposed street improvements would be prudent as this would confine the mess of construction to one year would ease enforcement of the hook up policy in 2012, Additionally, each home is estimated to contribute approximately $250 per year to the water fund through user fees. With approximately 185 new services to be provided with this project, that means an annual income of roughly $45,000, If the City chooses to make immediate hook-up mandatory for all homes served by the proposed project, it will face two options to meet this end, Option one is to have the city project include only the curb stop and service stub to the property line. This leaves each individual homeowner the responsibility of hiring a private plumber to hook their home's water system to the service stub, The upside to this option is it relieves the City of the difficult task of obtaining right-of-entry forms from each homeowner and the inherent liability of coordinating the work of internal plumbing and laying pipe on private property. The downside is that homeowners will feel like they are getting hit twice: once for the assessment and then with a plumber's bill of several thousand more.
