A similar package will be developed for North Buckhorn. The <br />purpose of the package is to inform property owners of the upcoming overall sewer program <br />and how it affects them individually. Agreements for sewer service from over 25 years ago <br />need to be updated as well as begin the process of obtaining easements. <br />The BOCC on May 6, 2010 authorized staff to re- evaluate the rate schedule for the Efland <br />sewer system and bring back recommendations and amendments in September. <br />Package Contents: The packet includes a description of the project and map of the <br />project location. Other general information such as a description of the existing costs to <br />connect and the cost of service are included. (Please note: These costs are under review.) In <br />addition to this general information, each packet will be tailored to a specific parcel in the sewer <br />expansion area. Other information to be included in the packet is: <br />• the location of the new sewer line with relation to a property owner's parcel, <br />• whether an easement will be needed, <br />• whether the parcel was owned by an original signer for sewer service in 1985, and <br />• the number of requested Equivalent Residential Connection (ERC). <br />
