Rob Miller, Planning/Project Engineer 338-1300 x2100, Waste Water, provided information on sewer proposals in these areas:
Other Sewer Information On NeighborhoodNet
Hidden Valley and Whispering Hills
Low pressure sewers are being offered to these two neighborhoods. Petitions are already circulating in Hidden Valley. The petitions for Whispering Hills will go out soon. Rob says the workload has put the Department behind in getting them out. The neighborhoods both supported sewers in the preference poll and according to Rob there "are plenty of volunteers who are very excited about circulating the petitions."
Oxford Pointe and Switzer Lakes
These two neighborhoods near 151st and Switzer were very enthusiastic about getting gravity sewers. They distributed and returned the signed petitions in under 2 weeks. Rob believes they will have sewers in place in 16 to 18 months.
Quivera Highlands
Quivera Highlands situation is similar to the Blue Valley Riding area in the sense that it would be very difficult to put in gravity sewers without major disruption. In fact, it would almost be physically impossible according to Rob. So a post card survey will take place to see the support for low pressure sewers. The survey is currently being held off while the Water District looks into a legal technicality that may lower the cost. Normally, low pressure sewers can be installed for around $9,000, but in Quivera Highlands' case the cost is currently estimated to be $10,156. This comes about because of some jurisdictional circumstances that the Water District may be able to resolve.
Mission and 163rd Terrace
This small neighborhood of beautiful old homes is circulating a petition for low pressure sewers. The homes were built in the early 1900's and are even on the National Historic Register according to Rob. Unfortunately, their septic systems are failing badly. Although the petition is not yet back, all 5 owners have called to say they support the new sewers.
Information Meetings: Mission & 175th; Downtown Stanley; Pflumm & 167th (extended)
Information meetings have been scheduled at 10881 Lowell Rd (the Water District Offices) for these areas:
Dry Sewers In New Developments
Two new subdivisions, Wolf Creek and Mill Creek Grande, will be built with septic systems, but will also have dry sewers installed. This means that as soon as sewers reach these subdivision, the gravity sewers can be connected because the sewers will already have been put in place. This will avoid the need to do the extensive disruption that is required to construct gravity sewers in established neighborhoods that do not have dry sewers already installed.
