ADDRESS LOW PRESSURE PROBLEMS ON PINE HOLLOW General Manager Shadden- This is the same problem as Belton Lane and I will get into Belton Lane a little bit further down in the slides. I had Josh go out and put a pressure meter on this, this guy has been complaining for a long time, he is on a 2” line on Hwy 563 up around the Ranches of Turtle Bayou headed toward Liberty. On average there is 63 psi, but there is quite a few homes on it and the low is 35 psi. It is pretty much the same thing that we had on Belton Lane and what I would like to do is do the same thing, it used to be a little bit further down to the South at Sherman we have an 8” line and we started serving into the Ranches of Turtle Bayou and there is a 6” that goes in there, so we want to tie on to that 6 “ go North about % way down to Pine Hollow and put a fire hydrant in there cause part of his complaint is there is no fire protection there either. We had the plans developed for Belton Lane by LJA and they should go before the County on Tuesday, to get an easement from the County for Belton Lane and we also have a permit from TxDot to bore under the Highway and tie into the 12, so all the plans are done for that one, but as you can see it took us 2 months for us to be able to survey it, plans, stamped and everything and it is going to Commissioners court next Tuesday for them to give us an easement down Belton Lane to be able to put the 6” down there, and this is pretty much what we are doing for Pine Hollow.
