Mr. March noted the property owners are not required to hook up to municipal water until the property's current well malfunctions or until the property owner elects to hook up. The proposed improvements will supply utility services to 42 lots in Parkview. The City of Centerville will pay the additional cost to over sizing the watermain. The project cost for development improvements and overheard (engineering, legal, administration) is $526,126.95. The total project costs with alternatives one and two is $580,443.53. Mr. Bernard Hendrich (6945 Centerville Road) questioned if the watermain will be a dead end and if so, how will the stagnated waters be treated. Mr. Nyberg replied if the Council decides to run the watermain south there will be a dead-end line which will be maintained by the City with routine hydrant flushing. Mr. Robert Barett (6953 Centerville Road) questioned who will pay the cost for directional boring under the Centerville Road. Mr. Nyberg explained the City will pay the cost for directional boring.

Option two provides service to three residents on the south end of Center Street. Furthermore, the disadvantages are construction disruption and the dead-end line will need to be maintained. Mr. Andrew Melcher (Saint Genevieve 7087 Goiffon Road) commented since one option is to provide water service to the Senior Housing facility then why is that facility not assessed. Mr. Nyberg responded the City can assess the facility. However, the City would pay the assessment cost. Mr. Melcher questioned the Council if the statutes state that a property cannot be assessed twice for the same improvement. Mr. March commented he spoke with the City Attorney and a property cannot be assessed twice for the same improvement. Mr. Hendrich asked "Will both water and storm sewer services be provided?" Mr. Nyberg explained the proposed assessment is for water service. Mr. Barett asked "Where will the water from the development drain to?" Mr. Nyberg stated Mr. Carlson has to prove the run off from the development will not cause an increase to surrounding properties. Mayor Wilharber mentioned, if the bid amount is lower than what the city expects the proposed 2
