Eastmoor Water District establishes Phase 5 ordinance, accepts two subdivisions and seeks $6 million in state funding
Summary
The Eastmoor Water District board approved a Phase 5 project ordinance allocating $40,000 for preliminary engineering, accepted deeds of dedication for Old North and Greenwood Acres subdivisions, and authorized a resolution asking state legislators for about $6 million in project funding.
At a meeting Jan. 6, the Eastmoor Water District board approved multiple actions to advance a Phase 5 water project and to add newly completed developer-installed lines to the district’s system.
Pat Noe presented an ordinance to establish project revenues and expenditures for Eastmoor Water District Phase 5 and said the board had set aside $40,000 to complete a preliminary engineering report and prepare an application for U.S. Department of Agriculture funding. He identified the Phase 5 work area as Wadsworth Road, Manor Road and additional lines within the East Moore district.
The board voted by voice vote to approve the project ordinance.
The board then accepted two deeds of dedication. Pat Noe said a developer-installed water-line extension off Atkins Road near Cameron will serve 13 lots in Old North Subdivision; the line has been tested, certified and is ready for service and the board approved acceptance. Similarly, the Greenwood Acres subdivision — nine lots off GMS and Shaw Road — had developer-installed infrastructure that Pat Noe recommended the district accept; the board approved that acceptance by voice vote.
Finally, Pat Noe said staff had already sent a request to Representative Jackson and planned to send a resolution to other delegates in Raleigh seeking funding for Phase 5. He provided a preliminary cost estimate of $6,000,000 for the project. The board voted to send a resolution to the state legislature requesting project funding.
Votes at a glance: the board approved the minutes, approved the Phase 5 project ordinance ($40,000 allocated for preliminary engineering and USDA application), accepted deeds of dedication for Old North Subdivision (13 lots) and Greenwood Acres (9 lots), and authorized a resolution requesting approximately $6,000,000 for Phase 5. All actions were taken by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the preliminary engineering report and USDA funding application for Phase 5; the county will distribute the resolution to state legislative delegates for funding consideration.
