This project was the result of efforts to provide water and sanitary sewer to existing homes I businesses in La Porte. This effort also resulted in City Project # 95-6101, 6" Waterline Extension Along North "H" Street from Mockingbird to Meadowlark. Resolution 92-08 was passed on October 26, 1992. The wording of Resolution 92-08 specifically dealt with sanitary sewer and failed to mention the upcoming waterline project to provide city water service to various locations. For administrative purposes, this memo is extending the policy described in Resolution 92-08 for water service to structures which were in existence prior to January 1, 1990, or a building pennit issued prior to November 13, 1990. I suggest that this memo of explanation be covered with appropriate staff and that it be placed with the Resolution and other files that dealt with these projects. xc: Robert T.
