-- ~ O <br />non-residential unit or to poor well water quality in rental units. The third caveat is that while the <br />County Environmental Health staff can conduct the initial screening process at a very reasonable cost, <br />process will proceed at a fairly slow pace. This is because the state lab is unable to analyze more than <br />approximately twenty water samples per week. <br />In the event that the sampling program indicates the need to extend municipal water service to the azea <br />or that policy makers determine to extend service as a health insurance policy of sorts, the Hazen & <br />Sawyer report contains the information by which extension costs can be estimated. The attached tables <br />(Tables 1 through 8) show those total and breakdown costs - construction as well as plumbing and <br />capital facilities fees -for each neighborhood surrounding the landfill. All of the water lines proposed <br />in the Hazen & Sawyer report and shown on the report's maps were not included in these tables. For <br />example, none of the water lines proposed solely to provide service to currently undeveloped land - or <br />the landfill itself - have been included in the attached tables. Although desirable from a utility <br />operational perspective, the proposed 42001ineaz feet of 16" diameter water main connecting the <br />distribution systems serving the northern (Eubanks and Millhouse Road neighborhoods) with the <br />systems serving the southern (Rogers Road, Fox Lair and Meadow Run neighborhoods) service azeas has <br />likewise not been included. Accordingly, the construction-only cost total for those water lines which <br />would serve all neighborhoods in the study area is approximately $500,000 less than that shown in the <br />Hazen & Sawyer Report. The numbers of residences and building units which serve as the basis for the <br />capital facilities fee cost total estimates have been derived from existing County Land Records data. In <br />some cases, this data may be outdated, and more residences and building units may exist than are <br />estimated. All costs aze estimated based on assumptions about existing utility construction conditions, <br />average lot sizes and distances between building units and individual water service meters. <br />I hope that I have provided information and analysis that you will find useful. If I may provide <br />additional information or clarification, please advise. <br />
