ITEMS FOP, BOARD ACTION
The properties at 1120 Bonanza Ave. and 1116 Bonanza
Ave. currently have an illegal water connection in place -
both properties are being served from one connection.
It is the responsibility of both property owners to locate
and cause abandonment of the connection which is in
violation of the District's Administrative Code.
The District became aware of the dual water connection
when one of the properties turned the water off for a home
repair, which caused Mr. Madden's water to shut off con-
currently. Staff has been working with Mr. Madden and the
neighboring property owner since October 20, 2000, in an
attempt to resolve this matter. In March 2001, at Mr.
Madden's request, staff lowered the amount of the deposit
required for District crews to install the District's portion of
the water service from $3,000 to $1,200, and also extended
the deadline for the work to be done.
Mr. Madden came before the Board to request the District
complete the connection at the street arid waive associated
coni'~ection fees. He will assume respor!s, ibility for dir.:;~ging
the ditch and completing the water connection at his l~,ouse.
When the houses were built in 1960, both properties were
combined into one parcel, and have since been split into
separate parcels. When they split, a permit was issued, but
the "piggy-backed" water connection was not discovered.
He stated the water connection should have been done
correctly when the second house was built in 1993. Each
parcel is separately billed for water service. Now that it has
been discovered, each property owner bears the respon-
sibility for full compliance and should have the work
completed prior to the October 15 grading deadline.
Moved Jones / Second Schafer / Strohm Absent / Passed
to authorize water disconnection procedures on the pro-
perties located at 1120 Bonanza Avenue, APN 32-142-18,
and 1116 Bonanza Avenue, APN 32-142-17, if the neces-
sary connections have not been completed by October 15,
2001. If District crews are unable to schedule the work
within that time, implementation of the disconnection pro-
cedures will be extended to May 15, 2002.
Moved Jones / Second Schafer / Strohm Absent / Passed
to approve payment in the amount of $1,398,324.81.
