SPECIAL MEETING UPPER STILLHOUSE CREEK SEWER SERVICE COMMITTEE November 10, 1987 The Committee for the Upper Stillhouse Creek Sewer Service met November 10, 1987, 5:00 P. M., Conference Room, City Hall. Chairman Curtis Fendley called the meeting to order with the following members present: Councilman Clifford, and Councilman Bone. Also present was City Manager, Michael E. Malone, City Attorney, T. K. Haynes, City Clerk, Mattie Cunningham, and City Engineer, Earl Smith. Chairman Fendley announced that the special meeting was called for the purpose of discussing and making recommendations to the City Council concerning service to proposed area of annexation. Councilman Clifford asked if Dean Jones property could be served by gravity flow sewer? City Engineer Smith said that Mr. Jones could be served, but it would be a judgement concern, it would cost more money, that you would have to go down to approximately 25 feet for 200 to 300 feet in one area, and when you have to go that far, it is time to look at a lift station. Mr. Smith pointed out that the City would not be able to maintain a sewer line that deep if something happened. Mr. Smith told the Committee that Harry Bright and Porter Smallwood could be served by going 18 feet deep. Councilman Bone asked if there was such a thing as a small 2 or 3 house lift type pump that would not be continuously giving trouble? City Engineer Smith said there is not a pump made for that, and with lift stations there will always be problems. Councilman Bone make a statement - that he feels very strongly that the property should be annexed if city services can be provided. Councilman Clifford said that if we do not run this sewer line what is going to happen in a few years is Reno will come in and install a sewer line and take the property into the City of Reno which will box the City of Paris in. City Engineer Smith said he has approached this proposed project in two phases, Phase One would go up and down Elk Hollow Road and Smallwood Rd, tie into a lift station, and terminating at the Loop. Mr. Smith also stated that this would be a temporary operation. Phase Two we would come in and build a 12 " -15" outfall line that would go out and intercept the interceptor to the sewer treatment plant, and at that time abandon the lift station. Cost for Phase One was estimated by Mr. Smith to be approximately $275,000.00 allowing $40,000.00 for a lift station force main, with Phase Two being approximately $102,000.00. Councilman Clifford said cost could be cut by $40,000.00 if this is done all in one phase. Financing of the project was discussed, and City Attorney Haynes said it is almost always a city financed situation, and a Pro Rata Ordinance could be done for those who wished to connect to the sewer line.
