UPCOMING EAST FORK SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT PROJECTS |
| |
-
The District’s engineer is
preparing plans to replace the 8-inch line along
Wells Road from Pleasant Valley to Whitley Road and
from Whitley Road to Vinson Road. Plans call for the
new 12-inch line to include new fire hydrants every
1,000 feet.
-
The District has completed plans
and is now acquiring easements to install a new
12-inch main along Highway 78 between S. Kreymer and
Bennett Road. This project will improve water
pressure for area customers and reduce water loss
from leaks. (Planned for June 2008)
-
Replacement of the 8-inch line
along Pleasant Valley Road from Sachse Road to Elm
Grove Road is planned for early 2009.
-
Replacement of the 8-inch lines
along Colonial and Estates Lane is planned for late
2009.

All project dates are estimated.
Projects to replace or add lines and hydrants may be
contingent on the district acquiring notarized easements
from property owners who will benefit from the
improvements. Priority will be given to projects for
which the District has acquired necessary easements. |
|
|
|
Why are private property easements
necessary? East Fork may install a water line in the
public right-of-way of a road or highway but then it
will bear the financial burden of moving the line when a
city, county or the state widens the road. The District
has no obligation to move lines installed in private
easements. So it is District policy to install lines in
private easement to keep costs lower for District
customers. |
|
|
|
East Fork is aware that installing
and replacing water lines may be an inconvenient for
affected customers, but this is only temporary and the
benefits will outweigh the inconvenience in the long
run. East Fork will work with affected customers to
prevent property damage during installation and to
repair property after improvements are installed. We
encourage customers to call or come into the office to
discuss any easement or line installation concerns
related to their property and we will make every
reasonable effort to resolve those concerns. |
