Re: Heritage Oaks Subdivision -�
Request for Water Service
Dear Mayor Campbell and Councilmen:
In accordance with your instructions, we have made a study of the
feasibilit}r of the Village providing water to the Heritage Oaks
Subdivi. s ion.
The subdivision is bounded on the north by Jonathan Dickinson State
Park, on the east by the North Fork of the Loxahatchee River a.nd
o.n t�h.e sout� by Turtle Creek.
The subdivision con,sists of 194 single fami�.y lots, plus a small
parcEl of land to be used for recreational purposes. The l.o�s are
large, averaging about 19, 000 square feet in area.
The proposed development was discussed with Mr. L. E. Lindahl,
the developer's engineer. Mr. Lindahl stated that the requested '�
water supply was for domestic use only and that a separate supply
of water for lawn ixrigation was to be obtained within the develop- /� r ,
ment. Mr. Linda.hl estimates that the water demand will not exceed �/
88, 200 gallons per day. His esti�nate is reasonable. The esti�rnated �
building construction rate is 40 houses per year.

When the facilities ta be constructed under the $2, 500, OQO bond
issue, C�ncluding the water ;main on Countv Line Road and acxo„�s
the North Fork) are completed, the project can be provided with
a dorxiestic water supply, including fire protection. This can be
done without jepordizing the exi.sting and potentia.J. custoan.ers
within the existing service area. Water for irrigation purposes
can not be provided.
The effect on the water supply requirements is shown by 'the foI-
lowing t�vo tables: �

Based on the above estimates, the'time the Village will reach the
contrac� lixnit of the daily wa�ex supply allowance frorn Txi-Southern
Utilities will be reduced by about 6 rn.onths if Heritage Oaks is sexved.
If the Cauncil decides to pxovide water tio Heritage Oaks, it is our
recommendation that it be done wi.th the following constraints:
1. The water distribution syst�rn be deeded to the Vill.age �a-
gether with the necessary easern.ents upon completion of
constxuction. .
2. That plans and specifications be approved by the Vil.lage
Water Superintendent and tk�e Village Engineer prior to
construc�ion.
3. That the developer's enginesr certify,that all construction
was inspected by hi.an and that it coxnplies with all require-
ments of the plans and specifications.

4. That water meters and service be sized to supply adequate
water based on the number of plumbing fixtures in each
house. Requests for meters over 1 inch in size shall be
approved by the Village Engineer.
It should be pointed out that if Heritage Oaks is served, no addi-
tional customers can be served outside of �he exi.sting service
area west of the North Fork until an additional. source of water is
obtained and additi.onal ixnprovernents to the distribution syst:em.
are made.
