"' e e; City of La Porte Inter-Office Memorandum May 12, 1992 tJo/ :b~ {).~/7 /-( '1J O~ / f~f Coli- t" ~ 1 ') // / . ..f' ,/' {}Cl' vi /~~t'AJ'''; . ,/ TO: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager a@} John Joems, Assistant City Mana9f;~ Charles A. Harrington, Director of Planning THRU: FROM: SUBJECT: Structures Without Sanitary Sewer During the FY 1991 Budget process, the City Council considered and authorized a project to provide sanitary sewer and water service to properties without service. As these projects have now moved forward to the point that the design is complete, I would like to provide you the following administrative status report. Background t-.\\NC During the budget process, the staff provided a report to the Council that identified:se~ (9) pocket areas of La Porte to which there were no sanitary sewer facilities. This IiSrwas-' pared down to seven (7) areas that could be served. Two (2) areas were eliminated due to the high cost per structure to provide service. The list of properties by area is shown on Attachment "A" The properties located on North "H" Street were eliminated from the list as later field investigations revealed a line that placed the eight (8) properties in that area within a 200 foot distance of sanitary sewer service. The original concept for the project included several different design elements including individual grinder pumps and low pressure force mains for twelve (12) of the properties, gravity flow systems for eighteen (18) of the properties and "throw-away" status for the pumps and force main systems. In addition to the sanitary sewer system problems, the staff identified one (1) area along North "H" Street that was without water service.
