UPCOMING EAST FORK SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT PROJECTS

 
  1. 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.

  2. 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)

  3. Replacement of the 8-inch line along Pleasant Valley Road from Sachse Road to Elm Grove Road is planned for early 2009.

  4. 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.
