Re: Water service for 500 Blevins Court
Dear Mr. Glover:
As a result of our telephone conversation of a week ago,.I have
investigated the problem of providing water service to 500
Blevins Court. As you are aware, there is presently an existing
1-1/2 inch water service which runs east to west along the
southern boundary of this property. This service is tapped to a
water main in Whitcomb Street, and is shared by several houses in
the area.
The water service is constructed of galvanized metal, indicating
that it was installed several decades ago (Due to problems with
galvanized metal, the City stopped allowing water services made
from that material in the late 1940's and early 19501s). Due to
the fact that the water service is galvanized, and is shared by
several houses in the neighborhood, it is doubtful that there is
an adequate water supply for anything larger than a single family
house. Therefore, we will not allow a water service permit to be
issued for anything other than a single family house.
I realized that a problem exists on Blevins Court, due to the
fact that the houses along the street all share water services.
(The City no longer allows developers to install shared water
services because of similar problems to what those you are
experiencing here.) In order to alleviate this problem the City
will install a 6-inch water main in Blevins Court either late
this year or sometime next. After the new water main is
installed, you will be allowed a water permit for any size
building which is allowed by the City's Planning and Zoning
Departments.
P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (103) 221-6681
The new main will be connected to the existing main in Whitcomb
Street and terminate at the end of Blevins Court. The City
insists that all dead-end mains have a fire hydrant at the point
where the main ends. I would like to place the hydrant behind
the sidewalk, in front of 500 Blevins Court.
Please notify me when and if you complete the purchase of this
property. I will keep your name and address on file and keep you
appraised of the progress of the water main's installation.
If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to call
me at 221-6681.
Sincerely,
W1 a&. Tale
