identified as the Bella Villa Sanitary Sewer to be constructed
north of Hoffmeister Avenue and east and west of Avenue H to the
point of connection to the Gravois Creek Trunk Sewer, and
WHEREAS, the requested sewer will provide a sewer
outlet for a substantial area presently draining into a sinkhole,
and will relieve a recognized unhealthful situation, and
WHEREAS, the construction of this sanitary sewer will
enable the District to abandon this sinkhole which is creating a
health hazard,

1. That construction of the aforesaid sewer is
necessary for the protection of the public health.

watershed tributary to it.
3. That all costs necessary or incidental to the
sewer construction, are estimated to be Twenty-five Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) and probably will not exceed that
amount if construction is started promptly.
4. That the entire cost of construction shall be paid
from the Gravois Creek Operation, Maintenance, and Construction
Improvement Fund.
