Water Use Restrictions - Citation Appeals
a) Sherbourne Deck Homes Association. Mr. Kosobud presented a diagram showing the
townhouses and the areas covered by automatic irrigation watering systems. The areas overlap
covering both odd and even addresses. The system has been in place since 1995-1996.
Considerable expense would be involved, plus the tearing up of yards to correct the system.
Discussion took place on alternatives to correcting the system. Motion by Krueger not to waive
the $50 penalty for citation issued. Sherbourne Deck Homes to develop a watering plan based
on every other day usage of the system and present it to the Engineering Department by July
I st. A seven (7) day variance in watering restrictions was given. The Water Board will review at
the July meeting. Motion seconded by Jensen. APIF, motion carried.
b) Sam Hanna, 18844 Easton Ave., citation appeal denied.
5. Continued Discussion Items
a) Wells 6 & 7 Update. Informational, no action necessary. Well #6 has been test pumped up to
2400 gallons per minute and water remained clear and sand free. City Engineer to get prices to
upgrade pumping equipment to reflect 2000 gallons per minute. Well #7 - the contractor has
been bailing the well at 440 feet, but would like to get to 500 feet. The well is to be test
pumped to see what capacity is or the need to remove additional sandstone.
6. New Business
a) Water Board meeting times. Jeff Krueger represents the Water Board on the City Hall Task
Force Committee which conflicts with Water Board meetings nights. Motion by Krueger to
have Water Board meetings start at 6:00 PM on July 22nd and August 26th. Second by Jensen.
APIF, motion carried.
b) Tom Hoyer, 19587 Akin Road. Requested to reactivate a well to be used for irrigation
purposes. Well formerly served home but was disconnected when municipal water was
available. The Board explained that existing wells are "grandfathered in", but when the
property is connected to municipal water the well is to be disconnected and capped as directed
by city ordinances. Assistant Engineer Gross is to review the ordinance and policies to be sure
that is correct. An answer will be given to Mr. Hoyer and the Water Board.
