Article 7: Sewer and Water System Analysis
This section has been reviewed by the Public Works Director and covers the capacity of
our water system and sanitary sewer systems, as well as recommended future projects.
Most of the language was previously pulled into the Community Master Plan from the
Sewer and Water Master Plans.
PROJECTED GROWTH
- Grove Street Submain Project – Sewer would likely be located down the
street. (Administration will confirm with the DPW Director of its location).
EXISTING CONDITIONS
- Omission of sentence beginning with “However, the service…” due to
redundancy.
IMPROVEMENTS IN AREAS EXTERNAL TO THE EXISTING SYSTEM
- “Cottonwood Pointe” will be changed to its geographic location.
It was noted that maps are included in the Masterplan if there is a need for further
information pertaining to the sewer and water system.
The consensus of the Commission requested the proposed changes and further
clarification to Article 7 (Sewer and Water System Analysis) be made to the requested
