WATER SERVICE REQUIREMENT WAIVER

 

J. C. Hyder came before council seeking a waiver from a requirement to be serviced by Roosevelt City water because his property is in Roosevelt City limits.  Mr. Hyder’s property was recently annexed into the city.  Mr. Hyder stated that when he purchased the property, he knew the city had sewer service next to the property and assumed water would be provided by the Johnson Water District as it passes in front of the parcel.  Because Roosevelt City’s water line it is about 1,000 feet from his property, it would require him to obtain easements through property he does not own and after looking into this, he found it would be difficult to obtain the necessary easement through the adjoining property to obtain city water.  Mr. Hyder stated that a Johnson Water line is already located close to his property.  It was proposed that the parties benefiting from having an 8” line get together and discuss sharing the cost to put in the line.  An 8” line would allow a fire hydrant to be installed which would benefit all parties.  Adjoining property owner Brad Knight stated that he has already paid to get City water service and feels it would be unfair to have to pay more.  Council discussed at length the cost to extend city water service and determined it would not be feasible.  After further discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Robert Yack to approve giving a waiver in this circumstance and allow Johnson Water to provide water service to the property located on Poleline Road bordering Lots 5, 6 & 1, 4 of K & R Industrial Park Subdivision in the industrial park area due to the inability of Roosevelt City to provide water service.  Motion seconded by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme.  Motion carried unanimously.
