I wish to submit comments on Case No. EAG-05-
am a resident of Eagle Springs subdivision and experienced severe reduction in water
pressure during the summer. Although the situation has improved since the replacement
of the a-inch mainline with the larger 12-inch mainline, I am concerned that the
improvement wi II only be temporary. I believe that when the large number of customers
in the Shadow Ridge subdivision are added to the water system , we will again experience
pressure reduction l due to the difference in elevation. It is also quite likely that future
developments along Hill Road and Horseshoe Bend Road witt exacerbate this problem.
am also very concerned about the proposal for Option 2. I believe the additional
booster for Big Springs Boulevard is essential to ensure adequate water pressure, EVEN
IF Option 1 or 3 is approved. However, it is not appropriate to assess that cost to just
the 51 customers in Eagle Springs. When Eagle Water committed to providing water
service to Eagle Springs, the Engineering staff knew the number and type of homes that
were planned in this area. They also knew of the elevation difference. It is obvious
that the project was improperly engineered and planned. The engineers/planners
further contributed to the potential for pressure problems by installing only one branch
from the main line to be shared by two homes. I understand that Eagle Water installed
all water service in the subdivision in this manner. It is inappropriate and unfair to
penalize the 51 homeowners for the failure of Eagle Water to properly plan and
engineer this project. The cost of corrective action (additional booster pump) should be
paid by the entity that caused the problem-Eagle Water.
I wi II appreciate your careful considera . n of cerns in these matters.
