AUTHORIZATION FOR THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH TO
CONNECT TO THE DISTRICT SEWER SYSTEM
District Commissioner Greer reported the Immaculate Conception
Catholic Church has requested permission to connect to the
District's Sewer System near Laurel Ridge. The Church is prepared
to pay the cost for constructing the pump station and running the
line; however, due to the length of the line, there is the
possibility of the effluent becoming septic and destroying the
line. If this should happen, the Church is willing to pay the cost
for remedial chemical treatment. The Church is not willing to
assume the responsibility for daily operation and maintenance of
the pump station and force main; but they are willing to pay the
cost for someone to operate and maintain the system.

REGULAR MEETING, DECEMBER 5, 1994PAGE 203
Mr. Dan Dawson, the engineer representing the Immaculate
Conception Catholic Church, reported the Church is willing to build
the pump station to the Water & Sewer District standards; however,
the Church does not have a person on a daily basis that can assume
the responsibility of operating and maintaining the pump station.
The Church is willing to build a County pump station and give the
right-of-way and/or easement to the County.
District Commissioner Sisson inquired as to whether any other
parties are interested in connecting to this line?
Mr. Dawson reported interest has been expressed by one party
on the northside of the Church, and it felt that other parties in
the vicinity and across Highway 421 will be interested in
connecting to the line. The pump station will be powerful enough
to serve most properties in this area, which will be beneficial to
the District.
Motion: Vice-Chairman Barone MOVED, SECONDED by District
Commissioner Caster to approve the agreement as modified to allow
the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church to connect to the
District Sewer System in the Laurel Ridge Subdivision contingent
upon the Church paying all costs involved with construction of the
pump station and four inch force main and costs for operation and
maintenance of the system. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion: District Commissioner Caster MOVED, SECONDED by District
Commissioner Greer to adjourn. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Mathews adjourned the meeting at 11:50 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Lucie F. Harrell
Clerk to the District Board
