September 26th, 2000 EAST BENCH WATER STUDY - PWD Smart stated the City has had some inquiry about potential development on the east bench. PWD Smart stated the potential is limited because of the lack of adequate water pressure. PWD Smart stated after review the best alternative or the best potential for future benefit would be the one where a booster station is constructed near E. Chubbuck Road and 1-86. This would cost approx. $325,000., this would include stand by power. Then the City could extend mainlines as necessary. PWD Smart said the City would collect an estimate of $700.00 per unit from individual units as they developed. Some of the cost ~vould be to defray the cost of the booster station, some would be saved to capitalize the tank and some to the transmission line to serve the area. PWD Smart suggested the Council authorize Mayor Cotant to enter into a design contract. PWD Smart stated he felt like the City needs to proceed and carry the ball on this because the expense of the project is too great for any single development to take on. PWD Smart said the project would be paid for from the 1995 Water Bond proceeds, then the fees would be recouped as individual units developed. The booster station would be installed first. Bob Hart, 4848 Pleasant View asked if this proposal with tie in with the current system. PWD Smart said it could, but there would be some extra expense. Mr. Hart expressed concern about low water pressure on the east bench now. Darris Ellis, 13560 N.
