EXHIBIT B <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PRIORITY 7: <br />INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS- REDUCE DEAD END WATER MAINS AND LOOK TO EXPAND REUSE <br />OF WASTEWATER <br /> <br />Dead End Water Mains (Bullet 3) – <br /> <br />When it comes to the small diameter dead-ends with few end-users, benefits of looping not a given. <br />You can have a dead end loop. Or at least a condition where you have little movement through the line <br />regardless. We would look at these with replacements. <br /> <br />The locations higher up on our priority list are the ones with 6-inch mains or above. We are getting <br />ready to start on one of these within the next month or two in-house - Airport Blvd extension from <br />Spencer to the north. Spencer Landing East is a dead-end along with residents on the west end of N. D <br />Street (50+ residences). <br /> <br />Our highest 4 other priorities are shown on the following maps. 3 of the 4 we would need to contract. <br />Total cost over $1,000,000. We had a few consecutive lean years for utility CIP. Our primary focus now <br />is catching up on maintaining infrastructure now in the ground. Certainly our preference is to start <br />working the significant dead-ends into a capital plan. <br /> <br />Expanding Use of Reclaimed Water (Bullet 4) - <br /> <br />No real plans to expand right now. During the 2011 drought there were times that we weren’t sending <br />reclaimed water to the golf course or ball diamonds. We needed to re-circulate the effluent in the <br />WWTP process. <br /> <br />I’ve discussed around a little with local consultants. I’m told that supply problems are not uncommon <br />for cities aggressively using reclaimed water. When the demand is greatest for reclaimed water, you <br />have little to give. <br /> <br />One idea on the back burner is consider the La Porte ISD facilities. In terms of volume and location, that <br />would likely be the most logical area to expand. <br /> <br />
