Common Council . 10 City Building 11 Richmond, Indiana 47374 12. • . 13 . . Dear Yen: • - . 14 � . 15 With reference• to our conversation on February 5, 1982., I 16 have attached a map showing the location of Richmond Water 17 Works Corporation's facilities -in Southwest 1st Street that 18 are presently being used to serve the 'Richmond High School 19 and fire hydrants which are now.available for fire protection. 20 . • 21 . . It is my understanding that if Southwest 1st Street is.vacated, 22 the Richmond School Corporation will relocate these' facilities 23 at their.expense. As' you can see on the attached map, the 24 relocation of these facilities will be quite difficult and 25 will probably be very costly. 26 27 . The 6" water line located in Southwest 1st. Street not only III 28 serves the high school, but also serves two fire hydrants 29 and gives this area a looped system which provides for greater 30 fire flows in this area,. If Southwest 1st Street is vacated, 31 more than likely the 6" water line would be cut and capped at 32 both Southwest "D" and Southwest "E" Streets. Therefore, the 33 two fire hydrants would have to be relocated and services 34 which provide water to the high school would also have to be 35 relocated. . 36 37 Keeping in mind that this matter has not'been reviewed with. . 38 the School Corporation nor with our engineering department, 39 at this time I would be in favor of extending the 12" water . 40 . line locat.edin. Whitewater Boulevard, north to a point that 41 would again allow for a looped system for this area. 42 . 43 If this extension is made according to the attached map, the 44 . high school will'.be involved with replumbing some of their 45 - facilities. 46 - • 47 Ken, I would hope that before City Council agrees to vacat- 48 ing Southwest 1st Street, some specific and deta.iled..ar 49 rangements can be made concerning the relocation of these . 50 facilities. ` 51 - 52 If you should have additional questions concerning this III 53 matter, please feel free to call me. 54 55 .
