<br />_ <br /> <br />_ <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR POTABLE WATER <br />SAN JACINTO STATE PARK <br />TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND WILDLIFE <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />POLICY DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Should the City Council wish to consider this request, the staff has the following policy <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />. Research the status of the San Jacinto Battleground State Park to determine if <br />any other governmental entity has jurisdiction. If found, require the Park to <br />obtain courtesy approval for water service provided by the City of La Porte. <br />. Consider changing the method of calculating the amount of water provided to <br />eliminate reference to employee numbers. Additionally, require the Park to <br />install sufficient storage and pumping capacity to reduce ultimate peak water <br />demands, and eliminate pressure, disinfection and cross connection concerns. <br />. No consideration should be given to assuming operation and maintenance of <br />the internal distribution system of the Park. <br />. Require the proposed transmission line to be a minimum of eight-inch (8"), <br />with aU costs paid by the State. <br />. Request the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District to assist in the <br />identification of potential customers along the route of the proposed line. <br />. Consider participation in oversizing the line if sufficient customers can be <br />found and who are committed to tie on to the line within the next 2 years. The <br />City of'La Porte would be responsible for these additional costs. <br />. Current policy requires a connection charge based on employee base. A <br />possible policy amendment would be to collect a one-time fee based on the <br />gallons of water committed to or the estimated effort to review requests, <br />prepare and manage agreements. <br />
