Finkbeiner, Pettis & Strout, Limited '—'Consulting Engineers )01.' 40 Established 1900 May 29, 1987 Mr. I. Harding Hughes, Jr. Administrator Town of Hillsborough P.O. Box 429 Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 Re: Water and Sewer Availability Concorde Place Apartments Hillsborough, North Carolina Dear Mr. Hughes: Since my earlier letter to you dated May 26, 1987 on the availability of water and sewer service to the proposed Concorde Place Apartments in Hillsborough, several items have come up that I would like to bring to your attention. A question has been raised concerning,the effect of the new complex on the water pressure available to existing nearby residences. The problems that current customers are having with their water pressure in the area are a direct result of their high elevation in relation to the Town's elevated storage tanks: This situation will not improve until a new elevated tank is constructed in the northwest section of the Town's service area to serve these higher elevations. As noted previously, the proposed development is located at a relatively low elevation that will enable it to have an adequate supply pressure without affecting existing customers. The demand generated by the apartments will not be great enough to appreciably affect the friction losses in the surrounding water mains. This means that existing customers will not be adversely affected by the new development as a result of increased water demand. - The Town Board has apparently adopted a policy mandating that no new water lines less than 8 inches in diameter be accepted as part of the Town system. This policy was adopted to ensure that adequate future growth needs are met, and affects the proposed development to the extent that 8 inch water lines will be required within the complex. 2301 West Meadowview Road / Greensboro, North Carolina 27407 / Telephone: 919/292.2271
