RE: Tripp Mobile Home Park
The engineer, representing the Tripp Mobile Home Park located at
S.R. 78W and S.W. 16th. Ave., has requested public water from
Okeechobee Beach Water Association.
The Okeechobee Beach Water Association (OBWA) has a 6 inch and an
8 inch water main along S.R. 78W and a 6 inch water main along
S.W. 16th. Ave. Since OBWA has existing water mains large enough
to furnish the water for the project we plan to supply the water
for this project.
Since OBWA does not have sewer capacity for the development it
would appear to be most advantageous for the City and OBWA to
make a joint effort for this project. A joint effort will reduce
the costs to the developer and to the family that purchases a lot
within the development. Such an agreement would be the most cost
effective expansion of both systems, which hopefully will be
taken over by the Utility Authority.
OBWA will read the water meters each month in order to calculate
the water bill and will share the meter readings with the City or
the City could read the meters in order to calculate the sewer
bill for the customers.
OBWA is willing to work with the City on a joint effort and by
copy of this letter will notify the engineer and the property
owner of this plan to provide water and sewer service to the
project.
Thank you for considering this joint effort and please let me
know if you need any additional information.
Yours Truly,
C
