William Watson - Request for Transfer of Water Tap - Director
Anderson presented the following sequence of events:
1) The January 14, 1988, Water Committee minutes reflect a
suggestion the Town adopt a policy to begin charging all customers
for tap fees, regardless of inter-departmental status. The minutes
indicate EPURA's request for a tap fee waiver in Riverside Plaza be
denied.
2) Copy of a letter dated October 24, 1988 addressed to the Mayor
from William and Vivianne Watson was received by EPURA on October
25, 1988 requesting transfer of the Ice House property water tap.
3) At the Town's request. Director Anderson responded on November
7, 1988 stating that, following unsuccessful negotiations for
purchase of the property, the tap was acquired by EPURA through
condemnation proceedings.
4) The Water Committee met on November 10, 1988 strongly

requesting EPURA honor the Watsons' request to transfer the water
tap.
Commissioner Klaphake believes the Water Committee's action reflects
a desire to be fair. Director Anderson noted that, should EPURA be
required to landscape/irrigate this project, the 3/4" tap fee of
$3,400.00 be waived by the Town.
Commissioner Hondius stated the Ice House parking lot project's
responsibility should be defined.
Commissioner Pohl questioned the legality of EPURA's transferring
the tap to the Watsons and Commissioner Pauley said if the tap is
transferred, EPURA should receive credit for a new tap.
Hearing no objection. Chairman Phares deferred this item until the
December 1, 1988 meeting. Staff will pursue the matter with the
Town through its Water Committee.
Mr. Hobart contacted EPURA with an offer to sell, at reasonable
cost, a computerized interactive information unit previously located
at the Chamber. Commissioner Pauley recommended this information be
included with other data to be considered by the Circulation
Committee.
Commissioner Hondius questioned whether EPURA should direct this
type of project. Commissioner Klaphake noted the reason he brought
this to EPURA's attention was kiosk maintenance and a suggestion for
better means of disseminating information to the visitor and
resident.
Director Anderson requested an Executive session to discuss property
acquisition. Hearing no objection, and there being no further
business to be conducted. Chairman Phares adjourned the meeting.
