Rural water project for JE Sarton Road stalled; committee hears request to cover $18,000 gap
Summary
Committee members said $36,000 is allocated to extend water on JE Sarton Road but the provider requires a 6-inch line; the project is roughly $18,000 short and affects four homes, officials said.
A committee member reported the rural-water extension for JE Sarton Road is at a standstill because the water provider wants a 6-inch main while county funds were allocated for a 4-inch line. “We have $36,000 allocated to put water in on JE Sarton Road,” the committee member said, and added the project remains about $18,000 short of the provider's requirement.
The committee member asked whether any landowners or others could contribute; he said there are four homes currently affected and that he would try to raise the shortfall locally. Other members noted Manchester water will not accept a 4-inch line at present, and that the board should be careful about permitting development without infrastructure.
No formal funding decision was made at the meeting; members asked staff and commissioners to follow up and try to resolve the remaining shortfall before the next commission session.
