Honorable Mayor and Members May 3rd, 1957

I am putting up a'boncl in tlie arizount of $133,�500 to cover' the ins'tallation
of the intract improvements in Rolling Hills Subdivision, Unit #l, and
the water supply line from the pumping plant at the existing reservoir
up to the location of the proposed reservoir on top of the south reservoir
hill; thence, to my tract. Of the total bond this is estim�ted to cost . �
approximately $50, 500, of which $10, 608 or 1248 feet at $8. 50 per foot is
'� .. ���
estimated to be the cost of i.he service line from the existing reservoir '
' • to the new reservoir site on top of th� hill. " _
In addition to the above items, a separate bond will be in the arnount `
of $23, 500 for the construction of a sewer pum5ing �tation and:force
mains which are to be constructed at the time that the next unit of the
subdivision goes ahead. �
In view of the fact that the water service line from the pump
station to the high reservoir. site is fflr general overall city benefit, ,
but is necessary for this development, I w�uld like to respectfully
request that I be reimbursed by the contract cost of the installation of
this portion of the system.
This is requested on the basis that I am being asked ta construct
over a mile of�12" water line, which is larger than m}r ultimate develop-
ment requires, and is based on the necessity for the larger line for t�ie
general overal� benefit of the city, and believe that the reimbursement

would recommend reimbursement to Mr, Zieger if the City could find the money
to do it. '

and this should be resolved. Mr. Marron stated the water system could not
stand up under the_ present rate structure.
