• CITY OF LA PORTE • INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM T0: Jack Owen, City Manager FROM: John Joerns, Director of Commun evelopment Bob Speake, City Engineer ~r~ DATE: May 7, 1986 SUBJECT: Proposed Water Line Extension to Block 759 SYNOPSIS The owners of the lots in Block 759 have petitioned the City for a water main extension serving their property. Staff has determined that the most practical means of providing water service to this block is by extending the existing 2" water line on South 15th Street north from its present termination point at West "D" Street. Estimated cost of $3400 would be paid in advance of construction by the petitioners. Staff recommends Council approval of the 2" extension. Staff also recommends extension of a 6" main from 16th Street to improve fire protection for the area. The 6" extension would cost the City about $6300. BACKGROUND 1. In 1984, Council heard a request for water and sewer service from Alfred Garcia, owner of Lots 17-20, who has since sold his property. Council deferred action (on Mr. Garcia's request) to develop a new policy on such extensions. Mr. Garcia did not follow up on his request. Informal discussions between staff and one of the other lot owners (Alice Ybarra) since 1984 have resulted in this petition (Exhibit A). 2. Existing and proposed utilities around Block 759 are shown on Exhibit B. All lots in the block are sewer-served except Lots 17-20. No lots in Block 759 are currently served by a water main, although the Bryan residence is served by a service line from 16th Street. Streets exist only on the west and north sides of the block
