I believe that OWASA once had a similaz policy and ask that you <br />consider either reinstituting the old policy or creating a new one, <br />The question azose during discussion of the Town's upcoming Town Operations Center <br />project on Millhouse Road. As you know, the Town, as developer, will install water <br />lines, sewer lines and a pump station to serve the facility, Both the water lines and the <br />sewerage facilities will be designed so as to allow future development in the azea to use <br />them, Whiie we agree that this is good planning for the community's eventual health and <br />safety, the capital investment to effect this infrastructure will fall entirely on the Town as <br />the 1"irst developer in the area. We believe it would be logical and equitable for future <br />developers to pay some allocated share of the cost of the lines and pump station as a <br />reasonable cost of their respective development projects. <br />We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this idea with you further. Please contact <br />me at your convenience and thank you for your consideration of this request. <br />Sin erely, <br />~nn QQ <br />S~-~~~ <br />W, Calvin Horton <br />Town Manager <br />cc: Mayor and Council <br />306 N.
