Adams <br /> <br />Subject: Location of Proposed Eastern Water Tower <br /> <br />The Trott Brook Park location for a new water tower was approved by both the City Council <br />and Park & Recreation Commission. Due to the objection of Mr. Don Patton of D.R. Horton, <br />the City Council asked the Utility Commission and Park & Recreation Commission to again <br />revisit the proposed location of this water tower. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />I have had numerous meetings with members of the Park & Recreation Commission. The <br />Utility Commission and the Park & Recreation Commission also had a joint meeting in an <br />effort to resolve this location issue. <br /> <br />Enclosed is the following information for your review. <br />1) Drawing reflecting the four (4) locations currently under consideration for the <br />proposed water tower. <br />2) Eastern Water Tower Location Evaluations Matrix. <br />3) Sketch reflecting two (2) possible locations in Hillside Park. <br />3a) South of driveway on high ground and.. <br />3b) North of driveway on lower area. <br />4) Detailed drawing of Hillside Park Site"3 b". <br />5) Detailed drawing of Trott Brook Park Site "5". <br /> <br />The pertinent facts as we know them to be are as follows: <br />a) A water tower for eastern Elk River is required next year to provide quality water <br />service (pressure and flow) and adequate fire protection. Due to the high water <br />demand by our customers in the Summer months, due to sprinkling, a new water <br />tower is desirable before the Summer period. To enhance fire protection, a new <br />tower should be operational as soon as possible. <br />b) Due to the current backlog of work by tower fabricators and erectors, the earliest a <br />tower can be operational is second quarter 2002 if ordered in January 2001. <br /> <br />- <br />
