OUT-OF-CITY WATER CONNECTION REQUESTS

 

Kevin & Julie Whiting were unable to come to Council Meeting and will reschedule their appointment.  Earl and Nancy Reary stated that they want to develop their property in the Cove area into a minor subdivision with eight water connections.  Maintenance Supervisor Jay Mitchell has expressed concern with the water pressure in that area.  The Reary’s stated that they are aware of these concerns.  The water line feeding this area comes from the 1M gallon water tank and as the

water level in the tank decreases, the water pressure decreases.  After discussion and review, it was decided that this matter will be tabled until a future meeting.  Although not on the agenda, Ryan Ross asked to address Council regarding purchasing five water shares for his development in the Cove Area.  Council reiterated their position to hold off making a decision until further discussion on the State Water Engineer’s decision to decline Roosevelt’s petition to change water rights from Hayden to Durigan.
