8 sewer. We also have a vacant piece of property on the north side which cannot build because it has no sewer service. It's our recommendation - whether there's a street or not - that we owe it to the community, if nothing else, to extend that sanitary sewer between the dead-end of Wagner and serve the home at the northeast corner of Western and Wagner so the two existing homes and (inaudible) can have sewer. We feel strongly you should connect the dead-end water line to prevent occasions such as happened in the past whereby the lines were frozen because of lack of flow. They are dead-end lines and need to be connected. That would also be necessary to serve that vacant piece of property on the north because, again, without water it's unbuildable. So if you're looking for a Public Works recommenda- tion, we feel if the people don't want the street, fine, we don't want it either, but we think we need the utilities. COUNCILMAN CURLEY: But this guy is only going to be assessed $2500. MR. HONCHELL: Would you like to hear the assessments if we built that. Remember, I said this was going to be long and involved because it seems to be that way. Now, in the same order we took them before. We started with Lot 20 and we said she had an assessment of $1,158 with cul-de-sac. That would now be zero. They paid sewer and water in the past and we're not now building a road. FROM THE AUDIENCE: Still, you have to turn around (inaudible) that cul-de-sac. That has to be moved because your ten years are up. MR. HONCHELL: Wait till I finish this. I think we're confused enough. Lots 23, 22 and 21 would be assessed $4,123 for sewer and water - that's combined. Lot 10, which is the unserved corner, would be $3,479. You notice this is the rare exception where because we have to rebuild the streets because they're being torn out partly with watermains it actually costs more for sewer and water alone than it did with the paving. The Wider ski property would be assessed $11,405 because it's 260 some feet long. The city property again for water would be assessed $1,58l. Again, no sewer because we have no land that's high enough to use the sewer. At that point we would have the utilities in so we would be able to afford people the opportunity to build on what is now unbuildable land, and people able to use sanitary sewers and connect to them and stop using septic tanks and cesspools, and we would have the opportunity to reduce the possibility of frozen watermains in the middle of winter, and people running out of water. MR. WIDERSKI: You're referring to three people as far as sewer and water - the vacant lot, myself, and Mrs. Flipp. MR. HONCHELL: Plus the city. The city would pick up a
