PETITION IN OPPOSITION TO STREET OPENING
TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL - La Porte, Texas:
We, the undersigned resident citizens of La Porte, Texas, hereby
petition the La Porte City Council to vote to provide access streets
to Section II of Fairmont Park East on streets other than Collingswood
Road and we hereby voice our opposition to the creation of an access
route between Block l04 of Collingswood Drive, of Fairmont Park East,
Section II, and as reasons for such opposition as follows:
That the presently existing section of Collingswood Road is a
quiet, residential area providing access and service to and for the
residents of that area. That said area is densely housed with families
with children who play in yards bordering closely on Collingswood Road.
That the residential nature of the area is what attracted many
of the residents in ~n effort to purchase homes on a quiet, residential
street for their families.
That to create a main connecting artery between Block l04 of
Collingswood Road, Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block lOa of COllings-
wood Drive, Fairmont Park East, Section II, would drastically change
the nature of Collingswood Road into a heavily traveled street.
That Collingswood Road and properties adjacent to it are not
designed for such use as there was never any intention for such use.
That the high volume of traffic would create an extremely hazardous
and adverse situation for the residents of Collingswood Road thereby
damaging the desirability of said area as a residential area and the
values of the properties in the area.
That access to Section II of Fairmont Park East could be more
easily provided by the use of routes directly connecting the Section
with West Main Str~et and Fairmont Parkway and the decision to not
'\
extend Collingswood for such purposes, would be in the best interest
of the residents of the area and of the City of La Porte, Texas.
~VHEREFORE, the undersigned residents of Collingswood Road, La
Porte, Harris County, Texas, petition the members of the La Porte
City Council to keep Collingswood Road in its present status.
Respectfully submitted,
Residents of Collingswood Road,
La Porte, Harris County, TEXAS

PETITION IN OPPOSITION TO STREET OPENING
TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL - La Porte, Texas:
We, the undersigned resident citizens of La Porte, Texas, hereby
petition the La Porte City Council to vote to provide access streets
to Section II of Fairmont Park East on streets other than Collingswood
Road and we hereby voice our opposition to the creation of an access
route between Block 104 of Collingswood Drive, of Fairmont Park East,
Section II, and as reasons for such opposition as follows:
That the presently existing section of Collingswood Road is a
quiet, residential area providing access and service to and for the
residents of that area. That said area is densely housed with families
with children who play in yards bordering closely on Collingswood Road.
That the residential nature of the area is what attracted many
of the residents in ~n effort to purchase homes on a quiet, residential
street for their families.
That to create a main connecting artery between Block 104 of
Collingswood Road, Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block 108 of Collings-
wood Drive, Fairmont Park East, Section II, would drastically change
the nature of Collingswood Road into a heavily traveled street.
That Collingswood Road and properties adjacent to it are not
designed for such use as there was never any intention for such use.
That the high volume of traffic would create an extremely hazardous
and adverse situation for the residents of Collingswood Road thereby
damaging the desirability of said area as a residential area and the
values of the properties in the area.
That access to Section II of Fairrnont Park East could be more
easily provided by the use of routes directly connecting the Section
with West Main Street and Fairmont Parkway and the decision to not
extend Collingswood for such purposes, would be in the best interest
of the residents of the area and of the City of La Por~e, Texas.
~iHEREFORE, the undersigned residents of Collingswood Road, La
Porte, Harris County, Texas, petition the members of the La Porte
City Council to keep Collingswood Road in its present status.
Respectfully submitted,
Residents of Collingswood Road,
La Porte, Harris County, TEXAS

FIRE DEPARTMENT
CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Jack Owen, City Manager
DATE: 4-15-83
FROM: John Dunham, Assistant Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Collingswood Drive
Mr. Owen,
In discussing with Fire Chief Sease the possible closure of Collingswood-
Drive to prevent traffic flow into Fairmont East, we are in agreement that
it should be left open for two primary reasons.
First, it will necessitate fire apparatus and Volunteer Firefighters in their
personal vehicles responding to fires having to enter either West Main or Fairmont
Parkway, which are heavily traveled thoroughfares.
Secondly, fire hydrants in the 10400 Block of Collingswood would not be
available for use on a major fire in Fairmont East or vice-versa.
Therefore, we feel that in the best interest of all concerned, Collingswood
Drive should be kept open from the 10400 Block into Fairmont East.

Re: Street Paving &

Job No. 1565-82
Dear Jerry:
In reply to your request, we have estimated the cost of
the improvement of Monument Road, as per the specifications
of the contract on the above referenced job with McKey
Construction & Equipment, Inc. We estimate th~ cost,
including engineering at $51,500.00. We would have to
be authorized to prepare the plans as soon as possible
to be able to add this to the contract.
For the preperation of the subgrage and lime stabilization
of the sub grade on Deaf Smith Road and Santa Anna Lane,
we have been advised by McKey Construction that an additional
$0.36 per square yard would be necessary for the preperation
of the subgrade, with the unit price as bid for the lime
~ stabilization of $1.92 per square yard to apply for this
item. It is estimated that the costs would be:
Deaf Smith Road
Santa Anna Lane
$ 15,200.00
7,600.00
The total for all three of these additions would be $74,300.00.
based on estimated quantities.
This is some what less than 20% of McKey's total bid of
$405,610.73, and would be within the provisions of the
contract.
Please advise uS as soon as possible if this is approved. and
get us a letter of authorization so that we may prepare the
plans as quickly as possible.

Improvement Project
The City of La Porte has awarded the contract for street improvements
in the Lomax area to McKey Construction for the bid price of FOUR
HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED TEN DOLLARS AND SEVENTY THREE CENTS
($405,610.73). Pre-bid estimates by H. Carlos Smith Engineers and
Surveyors amounted to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND ($500,000).
Mobile/Pasadena Chemical Corporation, in joint venture with BW? Contractors,
has proposed an experimental street project, using a by-product as base
material, for two (2) additional streets in the area of the street project
awarded to McKey Construction. The City is.to prepare sub grade and apply
paving surface.
This would leave Mon~~ent Drive, a street located in the same subdivision,
unpaved. Because budgeted amount for contract paving equaled the engineer's
estimate, Monlli~ent Drive was left off the contract.
The City requested H. Carlos Smith Engineers and Surveyors to estimate the
cost of including Monument Drive in the project. Estimated cost, including
engineering, is FIFTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($51,500), using
unit prices bid by McKey Construction.
The experimental project requires the City to furnish lime stabilization of
subgrade. Because of rain and weather related delays, the Street Division
is behind in planned street construction. The City requested H. Carlos Smith
to contact McKey Construction regarding adding subgrade preparation of Deaf
Smith and Santa Anna to the Lomax Paving Project.
,Because the entire construction was not requested, McKey Construction advised
that an additional THIRTY SIX CENTS ($0.36) per square yard of the unit price
bid would be required. ~stimated cost to prepared subgrade for Deaf Smith
and Santa Anna w0~ld be TWENTY TWO THOUS~~D EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ($22,800).
Total estima~ed cost to add Mon~~ent to the street construction project,
along wIth suogr~de prep~ration of Deaf S~ith ~nd Santa Anna would be

DATE:
February 18, 1983
TO:
FROM:
~tr. Richard Goertz with Mobile Oil contacted me about the possibilIty of
an experinlental Street Construction ?roject approximately four weeks ago.
Durinp, our first meeting we discussed several projects that had been constructed
usinr: the phosphogypsum as base material. Over the next two (2) weeks I look.ed
at several projects using this material. After viewing the projects and lab
test conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute. I have concliLtled that
with proper controls the phosphogypsum material ca.n be used for Street base.
The reg~irement for the streets to be l1sed in the project required sufficient
len~nth to allow two (2) six hundred feet control sections constructed of crushed
limestone. The streets that are to be used for the project meet all requirements.
All, 'construction on the project shall meet all of the City of La Forte construction
specifications now existing. The Engineering Department will conduct all

Re: Street Paving &

Job No. 1565-82
Dear Jerry:
In reply to your request, we have estimated the cost of
the improvement of Monument Road, as per the specifications
of the contract on the above referenced job with McKey
Construction & Equipment, Inc. We estimate the cost,
including engineering at $51,500.00. We would have to
be authorized to prepare the plans as soon as possible
to be able to add this to the contract.
For the preperation of the subgrage and lime stabilization
of the subgrade on Deaf Smith Road and Santa Anna Lane,
we have been advised by McKey Construction that an additional
$0.36 per square yard would be necessary for the preperation
of the subgrade, with the unit price as bid for the lime
~stabilization of $1.92 per square yard to apply for this
item. It is estimated that the costs would be:
Deaf Smith Road
Santa Anna Lane
$ 15,200.00
7,600.00
The total for all three of these additions would be $74,300.00.
based on estimated quantities.
This is some what less than 20% of McKey's total bid of
$405,610.73, and would be within the provisions of the
contract.
Please advise us as soon as possible if this is approved. and
get us a letter of authorization so that we may prepare the
plans as quickly as possible.
Very truly yours.

FROM:
J
SUBJECT:
Improvement Project
The City of La Porte has awarded the contract for street improvements
in the Lomax area to McKey Construction"for the bid price of FOUR
HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED TEN DOLLARS AND SEVENTY THREE CENTS
($405,610.73). Pre-bid estimates by H. Carlos Smith Engineers and
Surveyors amounted to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSJL~D ($500,000).
MObile/Pasadena Chemical Corporation, in joint venture with BWF Contractors,
has proposed an experimental street project, using a by-product as base
material, for two (2) additional streets in the area of the street project
awarded to McKey Construction. The City is to prepare sub grade and apply
paving surface.
This would leave Monument Drive, a street located in the same subdivision,
unpaved. Because budgeted amount for contract paving equaled the engineer's
estimate, Monument Drive was left off the contract.
The City requested H. Carlos Smith Engineers and Surveyors to estimate the
cost of including Monument Drive in the project. Estimated cost, including
engineering, is FIFTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($51,500), using
unit prices bid by McKey Construction.
The experimental project requires the City to furnish lime stabilization of
subgrade. Because of rain and weather related delays, the Street Division
is behind in planned street construction. The City requested H. Carlos Smith
to contact McKey Construction regarding adding subgrade preparation of Deaf
Smith and Santa Anna to the Lomax Paving Project. .
,Because the entire construction was not requested, McKey Construction advised
that an additional THIRTY SIX CENTS ($0.36) per square yard of the unit price
bid would be required. Estimated cost to prepared subgrade for Deaf Smith
and Santa Anna wo~ld be TWENTY TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ($22,800).
Total estimated cost to add Monument to the street construction project,
along with subgrade preparation of Deaf Smith and Santa Anna would be
SEVENTY FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLJL~S ($71;,300). This would be less
than 20% of McKey's total bid of FOUR HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND SIX HL~DRED TEN
DOLLARS .~D SEVENTY THREE CENTS ($405,610.73), and would be within the
provisions of the contract, and within the FIVE Hm~DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($500,000) budgeted for contract street improvement.

Hr. Richard Goertz with Mobile Oil contacted me about the possibility of
an experimental Street Construction ?roject approximately four weeks ago.
Durin~ our first meeting we discussed several projects that had been constructed
usin~ the pllOSphogypsum as base material. Over the next two (2) weeks I looked
at several projects using this material. After viewing the projects and lab
test conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute. I have concl~aed that
with ~roper controls the phosphogypsum material can be used for Street base.
The req~irement for the streets to be 11sed in the project req~ired. sufficient
len~nth to allow two (2) six hundred feet control sections constructed of crushed
limestone. The streets that are to be used for the project meet all requirements.

~TITION IN OPPOSITION TO STREET OPENING
TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL - La Porte, Texas:
We, the undersigned resident citizens of La Porte, Texas, hereby
petition the La Porte City Council to vote to provide access streets
other thanCollingswood Road and we hereby voice our opposition to
the creation of an access route between Block 104 of Collingswood Road
of Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block lOa:of Collingswood Drive, of
Fairmont Park East, Section II, and as reasons for such opposition as
follows:
That the presently existing section of Collingswood Road and Valley
Brook Drive is a quiet, residential area providing access and service to and
for the residents of that area. That said area is densely housed with
families with children who play in yards bordering closely on Collingswood
Road and Valley Brook Drive.
That the residential nature of the area is what attracted many df
the residents in an effort to purchase homes on a quiet, residential street
for their families.
That to create a main connecting artery between Block 104 of
Collingswood Road, Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block 108 of Collings-
wood Drive, Fairmont Park East, Section II, would drastically change the
nature of Collingswood Road and Valley Brook Drive into a heavily traveled
street.
That Collingswood Road and Valley Brook Drive and properties adjacent
to it are not designed for such use as there was never any intention for
such use.
That the high volume of traffic would create an extremely hazardous
and adverse situation for the residents of Collingswood Road and Valley Brook
Drive thereby damaging the desirability of said area as a residential area
and the values of the properties in the area.
That access to Section II of Fairmont Park East could be more easily
provided by the use of routes directly connecting the Section with West Main
Street and Fairmont Parkway and the decision to not extend Collingswood for
such purposes, would be in the best interest of the residents of the area and
of the City of La Porte, Texas.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned residents of Valley Brook Drive, La Porte,
Harris County, Texas, petition the members ~f La Porte City Council to keep
Collingswood Road in its present status.
Respectfully submitted,
Residents of Valley Brook Drive,
La Porte, Harris County, Texas

10311 Collingsw~od Rd.
La Porte Tx. 77571
26 April 1983 '.
Collingswood Road should not be a through street for the following
Reasons I
SECURITY would be enhanced for both sections without additional burdens
for the city POLICE.
RESIDENTS on Collingswood Rd. 'favor a clos~d street .
Kr. GRAY, the developer also,in the interest of expedienc7,favors same.
CONSTRUCTION costs to the developer are eliminated.
MAINTAINENCE by the c1 ty will not be necessary.
THROUGH TRAFFIC on Collingswood Road,(between Hillridge & Farrington)Is
excessive NOW. Please get traffic count results.
DUMP TRUCKS & TRACTOR TRAILERS use Collingswood as abby-pass,KOH .
RECREATION FACILITIES border on the heaviest traveled streets in all of
the Fairmont Park areas. (COU,INGSiYOOD ROAD & FARRINGTON BLVD. )
.1020 NEW HOMES would more than double the present EXCESSIVE traffic.
4 WAY STOP at the corner of Hillridge & COllingswood / Valley Brook
.could discourage some THROUGH traffic.
OlE WAY wnw would certainly help the now situation.
Thank you for your consideration;
I REJlAIN, a taxpayer

FROM:
Director of Public Works
r..Plant Demolition - Revised Memo
The operations of the old La Porte Waste Water plant and the Fairmont
Waste Water plant were discontinued when the flows were diverted to the
new plant. The new plant is functional, and the two (2) old plants need
to be demolished.
Research of demolition costs indicate that ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($100,000) will be needed to demolish both plants. Funds are not budgeted
for this work. It was estimated the Fairmont Parkway plant would run
approximately $~5,000 to $50,0000, and the Fourth Street plant would run
approximately $60,000 to $65,000.
Residents of Fairmont Park were informed that the plant in Fairmont would
be torn down after the new plant became operational. Rather than request
funds for next years budget for this work, I recommend that we take this
amount from the Public Works improvement contingency fund.
If you should have any questions, please advise.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
Jack Owen - City Manager
DATE: April 20, 1983
FROM: John Joerns - Engineering Dept.
SUBJECT: Collingswood Drive
As you requested I have collected the responses from the other department
heads expressing their concerns regarding the petitlon to close Collingswood
Drive between Fairmont Park and Fairmont Park East Section II.
Police Department
Chief Freeman is of the opinion that Collingswood should be open
between Fairmont Park and East Fairmont to provide access for police
and fire units without having to use either Spencer Highway or
Fairmont Parkway.
Fire Department
The Fire Department is of the opinion that Collingswood should be
left open for two reasons:
(a) to prevent fire apparatus and Volunteer Firefighters in
their personal vehicles responding to fires from ~aving
access only from West Main and Fairmont Parkway, which
are both heavily traveled thoroughfares
(b) if Collingswood were closed, fire hydrants in the 10400
block would not be available for use on a major fire in
Fairmont East or vice versa.
Pub~ic Works
Public Works is of the opinion that Collingswood should be open
between Fairmont Park and Fairmont Park East for two reasons:
(a) route optimization for the Solid Waste Department
(b) meter reading
Further Discussion
Collingswood Street itself has been pfatted as a thru street in order to
provide internal circulation and reasonable access to all points in the Fairmont
Park neighborhoods. The concerns listed above; circulation of emergency vehicles,
City service vehicles, as well as access to the City's 5.4 acre park and community
center are valid and are an integral part of providing reasonable access to all
residents.
..
e
.
.
The entire layout of the Master plat for Fainmont Park tracks closely
the average spacing for residential collector streets within a neighborhood.
Of course, specific "traffic generators" in a given area (i.e. schools, parks,
shopping centers, etc.) should also be given due consideration when laying out'
and approving subdivision plats. Failure to consider these can create problems
such as the City of La Porte experienced with the recent opening of Jennie Reid
Elementary School on Fairmont Parkway. There may be cause for concern relating
to the proposed opening of the new elementary school on Farrington Boulevard.
The addition of specific origin-destination traffic in this area could possibly
direct more vehicular traffic to an area than normally expected. This particular
concern, if justified, would be separate from the Collingswood situa.tion and
would require further study and information (school age group, population, etc.).
o
me.
If you desire any further information, please do not hesitate to contact
firn.

PETITION IN OPPOSITION TO STREET OPENING
TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL - La Porte, Texas:
We, the undersigned resident citizens of La Porte, Texas, hereby
petition the La Porte City Council to vote to provide access streets
other than Collingswood Road and we hereby voice our opposition to
the creation of an access route between Block 104 of Collingswood Road
of Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block 108 of Collingswood Drive, of
Fairmont Park East, Section II, and as reasons for such opposition as
follows:
That the presently existing section of Collingswood Road is a
quiet, residential area providing access and service to and for the
residents of that area. That said area is densely housed with families
with children who play in yards bordering closely on Collingswood Road.
That the residential" nature of the area is what attracted many
of the residents in an effort to purchase homes on a quiet, residential
street for their families.
That to create a main connecting artery between Block 104 of
Collingswood. Road, Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block 108 of Collings-
wood Drive, .Fairmont Park East, Section II, would drastically change
the nature of Collingswood Road into a heavily traveled street.
That Collingswood Road and properties adjacent to it are not
designed for such use as there was never any intention for such use.
That the high volume Of traffic would create an extremely
hazardous and adverse situation for the residents of Collingswood Road
thereby damaging the desirability of said area as a residential area
and the values of the properties in the area.
That access to Section II of Fairmont Park East could be more
easily provided by the use of routes directly connecting the Section
with West Main Street and Fairmont Parkway and the decision to not
extend Collingswood for such purposes, would be in the best interest of
the residents of the area and of the Gity of La Porte, Texas.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned residents of Collingswood Road, La
Porte, Harris County, Texas, petition the members of La Porte City
Council to keep Collingswood Road in its present status.
Respectfully submitted,
Residents of Collingswood Road,
La Porte, Harris County, TEXAS

CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
Jack Owen - City Manager
DATE: April 20, 1983
FROM: John Joerns - Engineering Dept.
SUBJECT: Collingswood Drive
As you requested I have collected the responses from the other department
heads expressing their concerns regarding the petit~on to close Collingswood
Drive between Fairmont Park and Fairmont Park East Section II.
Police Department
Chief' Freeman is of the opinion that Collingswood should be open
between Fairmont Park and East Fairmont to provide access for police
and fire units without having to use either Spencer Highway or
Fairmont Parkway.
Fire Department
The Fire Department is of the opinion that Collingswood should be
left open for two reasons:
(a) to prevent fire apparatus and Volunteer Firefighters in
their personal vehicles responding to fires from having
access only from West Main and Fairmont Parkway, which
are both heavily traveled thoroughfares
(b) if Collingswood were closed, fire hydrants in the 10400
block would not be available for use on a major fire in
Fairmont East or vice versa.
Pub ~ i c Works
Public Works is of the opinion that Collingswood should be open
between Fairmont Park and Fairmont Park East for two reasons:
(a) route optimization for the Solid Waste Department
(b) meter reading
Further Discussion
Collingswood Street itself has been pfatted as a thru street in order to
provide internal circulation and reasonable access to all points in the Fairmont
Park neighborhoods. The concerns listed above; circulation of emergency vehicles,
City service vehicles, as well as access to the City's 5.4 acre park and community
center are valid and are an integral part of providing reasonable access to all
residents.
AS"
e
e
.....- .....-...J
'"
The entire layout of the Master plat for Fairmont Park tracks closely
the average spacing for residential collector streets within a neighborhood.
Of course, specific "traffic generators II in a given area (i.e. schools, parks,
shopping centers, etc.) should also be given due consideration when laying out.
and approving subdivision plats. Failure to consider these can create problems
such as the Ci ty of La Porte ex'peri enced wi th the recent openi ng of Jenni e Rei d
Elementary School on Fairmont Parkway. There may be cause for concern relating
to the proposed opening of the new elementary school on Farrington Boulevard.
The addition of specific origin-destination traffic in this area could possibly
direct more vehicular traffic to an area than normally expected. This particular
concern, if justified, would be separate from the Collingswood situation and
would require further study and information (school age group, population, etc.).
Q
me.
If you desire any further information, please do not hesitate to contact

W~Plant Demolition - Revised Memo
April 18, 1983
FROM:
SUBJECT:
The operations of the old La Porte Waste Water plant and the Fairmont
Waste Water plant were discontinued when the flows were diverted to the
new plant. The new plant is functional, and the two (2) old plants need
to be demolished.
Research of demolition costs indicate that ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($100,000) will be needed to demolish both plants. Funds are not budgeted
for this work. It was estimated the Fairmont Parkway plant would run
approximately $45,000 to $50,0000, and the Fourth Street plant would run
approximately $60,000 to $65,000.
Residents of Fairmont Park were informed that the plant in Fairmont would
be torn down after the new plant became operational. Rather than request
funds for next years budget for this work, I recommend that we take this
amount from the Public Works improvement contingency fund.
If you should have any questions, please advise.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
Jerry Hodge, Director of Public Works DATE: April 20, 1983
Luther Maxey, Water/Wastewater Superintendent ~
FROM:
SUBJECT: Water Well #5 (25th Street)
On January 26, 1983, Layne Texas Company was requested by us to remove
and repair the 200 HP electric motor on well #5. The work was completed on
Feo~uary.~'2, .",1983,. with a charge of THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY
TWO DOLLARS AND NINETY CENTS ($3,822.90) from Layne Texas Company.
Excessive condensation had collected in the windings of the motor and
when tlle well was called to come on the motor direct shorted on two
fields, causing the motor to essentially "blow up".
After the motor had been repaired and put back in service, our monitoring
of the well showed other irregularities. Layne Texas Company technicians
were called back out to determine what the problems were. It was
determined that downhole bearings were worn out. An estimate of approximately
TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($12,000.00) was given, (and thought to be a high
estimate) for repairs necessary downhole.
After extraction'of the downhole components of the well, other problems
were found. Three of the drive shafts were badly bowed and had to be
replaced. Two joints of the 8" x 20' column casing pipe were pitted
from corrosion and needed to be replaced. To correct all problems brought
the total cost of this service to THIRTEEN THOUSAND SIXTY FIVE DOLr~S
AND SIXTY SIX CENTS ($13,065.66).
The total cost of repairs and amount of funds necessary frOm the contingency
fund is as follows:
Repairs to Electric motor
Downhole repairs
$ 3,822.90
13,065.66
$16,888.5b
Council has approved TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($12,000.00) for repairs
to Well #5. An additional FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT WUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT
DOLLARS AND FIFTY SIX CENTS ($4,888.56) will be necessary to cover the
added cost."
