FsnKDeIner, Pettis & Strout, Limited <br /> Consulting Engineers <br /> itel "41;7 <br /> Established 1900 _ , <br /> - Atta ent #6 <br /> September 23, 1987 047 <br /> Mr. L Harding Hughes, Jr. <br /> Administrator, Town of Hillsborough <br /> P.O. Box 4Z9 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Re: Hillsborough, NC <br /> Nash Street Subdivision <br /> Water and Sewer Availability <br /> Dear Harding: <br /> We have completed our review of water and sewer service availability for the <br /> proposed Nash Street subdivision. The proposed development is located on Nash Street <br /> just north of Latimer Street and consists of nine (9) residential lots. <br /> According to the Hillsborough water distribution system map, water is available <br /> from the 6-inch water main on Nash Street. The small number of lots proposed for the <br /> development will place a negligible demand an the existing system. Adequate water <br /> service, therefore, is available to the proposed subdivision. <br /> Since the lots are within the Town's corporate limits, fire protection must be <br /> provided. The 'necessary fire flow for residential areas can be met by the existing <br /> system. Hydrant spacing guidelines, however, require that all lots be within 300 feet <br /> of a fire hydrant. To meet this requirement we recommend that a fire hydrant be <br /> installed at the end of the cul-de-sac with a 6-inch water main extending to Nash <br /> Street. The hydrant would serve a dual purpose as a blow-off point for the dead leg <br /> water main section. <br /> Sewer service is readily available to all lots within the subdivision. Analysis of <br /> the topographic map for this area indicates that all lots can be served by gravity to <br /> the existing 8-inch sewer line on the western edge of the property. The developer's <br /> engineer must show the existing manhole inverts for that line on the project plans <br /> when they are submitted for Town Board approval so that the final alignments and <br /> grades can be checked. <br /> I have kept the preliminary plat for the proposed project in case further <br /> questions arise.= If you need the plat for any reason, or have questions about this <br /> information please call me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 1J <br /> David Cain <br /> • <br /> WDC/kdj <br /> 2301 West Meadows iew Read / Greensboro.
