Northmoor approves $1,600 payment to Pate family for water meter access to boost fire protection
Summary
The board approved a one-time $1,600 payment to property owner Benny N. Pate and his mother, Barbara Pate, to place a second meter pit allowing a direct connection to an 8-inch line; city officials said the move will improve water infrastructure and fire-protection capacity.
The Northmoor Board of Aldermen approved a one-time $1,600 payment to property owner Benny N. Pate and his mother, Barbara Pate, to allow the city to install a second water meter pit on the Pate property on Frontier Street. Mayor Lynda Wilson said the location permits a direct connection across Frontier Street to an 8-inch water main and is the most cost-effective option.
Officials said the work is aimed at improving the city's water infrastructure and its ability to meet fire-protection needs. Utilities Manager Galen Markly, identified in the record as negotiating the agreement, was cited as having reached terms with Mr. Pate. The meeting record states construction is expected to begin in a few months after engineering and contractor work is completed. The motion passed by roll call as recorded in the minutes.
