<br />underneath it without it being in a casing - in the water sys- <br />tem. So it wouldn't really matter too much whether we brought <br />a six inch or a one inch or a four inch or anything else. It's <br />the cost of boring that casing under that's the predominant <br />cost. In other words, the water line is $7,000 and the casing <br />is $5,000 of that. That's really where the costs are. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: How many homes can be served with this <br />six inch water main? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Thirty, forty. <br /> <br />MR. HAVEL: Unfortunately, the school board owns all the <br />land in back of our house. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: How about to -the southwest, along <br />the tracks? <br /> <br />MR. HAVEL: The school board. The school board owns <br />practically all of it. Maybe they would want it. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: Those lines would accommodate some <br />additional houses. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Yes. As I say, as far as capacity, 30 or <br />40 homes can hook on to that same line. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN 'JOHNSON: Are you bringing it in deep enough <br />that you could accommodate that? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: It's being brought in relatively shallow <br />to avoid going down 20 feet to the bottom of the existing line <br />and, as we indicated, their homes are so much higher that <br />we're keeping it as high as we can get it to accommodate the <br />adjacent property. It would not be high enough on a gravity <br />system for sanitary - water wouldn't matter - to serve all of <br />the low spots back where it was proposed at one time to have <br />a high school. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: I guess I'm just thinking of the <br />contiguous property, north and south (inaudible). <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: There's plenty of depth for the immediate <br />land. <br /> <br />MR. HAVEL: You mentioned something about 15 years - no <br />longer. Is that financed through property taxes? Is that <br />put on your property tax for 15 years? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: This isn't the assessment hearing, but <br />routinely what happens is that the improvement is done and <br />then when we know the exact cost. Following that, usually in <br />the late summer or mid summer, there's another hearing for <br />assessments. If we got this done fast enough, it would be <br />done this year. If we didn't, it would be done in 1983 - in <br />August. At that point the assessments would be spread. Our <br /> <br />4 <br />
