ment consists of a 16’right—of—way for one waterline and a 14’road
right—of—way.The Town Attorney advised that since a waterline is al
ready located in the 16’right—of—way,that the Recreation District
waterline would have to be located in the 14’right-of-way.The Commit
tee recommends the Recreation District attorney prepare an agreement
to allow the Recreation District waterline to be located in the 14’road
easement.
