Aithough the situation has improved since the replacement of the 8-inch mainline with the larger 12-inch mainline , I am concerned that the improvement will 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, due to the difference in elevation. It is also quite likely that future developments along Hill Road and 'Horseshoe Bend Road wilt 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 will appreciate your careful consideration of my concerns in these matters.
