SOUTHMORE • 713 473-8821 <br />PASADENA, TEXAS 77502 <br />February 13, 1970 <br />To the Honorable Mayor <br />and City Commission <br />City of La Porte <br />P.O. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Gentlemen: <br />This office has recently completed a review of extending city sewerage <br />service to Outlot ~f28 currently being occupied by the Lawler Mobile <br />Home Park. This study includes a review of three possible methods for <br />serving this area. For ease of review and evaluation we will hereafter <br />refer to the three studies as Methods A, B, and C. <br />. Method A provides a gravity flow interceptor sewer line capable of serving <br />this area without benefit of a lift station. The total estimated cost <br />of this improvement. is $73,000. It is felt that the Federal Government <br />would favorably review a grant application to assist the city with the <br />construction of this program. If this is true, the federal participation <br />would be in the amount of $24,300 leaving a balance of $48,700 as the <br />total development cost to be absorbed by the city. <br />Method B describes a gravity sewer line capable of serving the territory <br />between the cities existing lift station and Outlot ~~28. The fluid gen- <br />erated within Outlot ~~28 would still require a lift station in order <br />to use this line. The cost of this program is estimated to be $59,500 <br />with the possible federal participation applying only to a small part of <br />the total project. This being the case, the city could expect a federal <br />grant in the amount of $4,650 leaving a balance of $54,850 to be expended <br />by the City of La Porte. <br />Method C describes a lift station and force main necessary to connect <br />Outlot 428 to the cities existing sewer system. This program would <br />serve only Outlot ~~28 and could be accomplished at a total cost of <br />$28,700. This program would not receive any form of federal participation. <br />Method B would allow the city tb serve Outlot ~f28 and the territory ad- <br />jacent to this line routing. The cost to theeity for this line would <br />be more than that required for the larger line. This is a result of the <br />grant applying to only the larger lines described by the program. <br />C <br />Exhibit 1 <br />
