Walter Norwood is your project manager, so I'm going to pass this to Walter. Thank you, Sally, my name is Walter Norwood and we're going to, we're going to do the introductions still doing project over new project area and we're going to explain why we're doing this project so Walter Norwood. Here's my phone number 817 3925 026. Or Walter. Norwood at Fort worth Texas dot gov, Fort worth Texas is spelled out. Design consulting. Burgess and Nipal on the line, Billy, Wyndon and Lyndon crouch. This project is located in the city of Fort Worth council district 7 and it borders the city of right time. We're going to construct new water mains and sewer mains along jacksboro highway in an area bounded by road runner road to the west and surf side drive to the east. There'll also be some construction on the south side of jacksboro highway. Along summer bill place and I'm in summer bill road and Tyler place. Bounded by Ella young to the south. This map shows the project area with the black dark black lines. The blue line with the dash dash line inside it. That's the city limits for the city of lakeside. And so we're going to we're going to install the water line and road runner from jacksboro highway all the way through to jacksboro highway again. 2000 feet and we're going to put a water line along jacksboro highway on the north side to surf side drives. We're going to extend the water line down surf side to summer bill place and water crest. And we're also going to extend some water line in summer bill place from elegant to Tyler place and then down Tyler place. From summer bill to yelling young this project has 3 distinct areas. The north side of jacksboro highway is an area that's currently not served water by a municipality. Meaning specifically the town of lakeside. And the south side of school highway, which is served water by lakeside. And also road runner road, which is currently served water by lakeside. Lakeside and port worth each currently hold the certificate of convenience and convenience and necessity. Granted by the state of Texas to be the exclusive provider of water. Service for each of these 3 areas. And through an agreement with lakeside for worth will begin to expand their water service into these areas and provide water and sewer. To those areas except for run run so that that map you see on the right, there's a red box. On the map that shows the area we call the north side of jacksboro highway. And that's the area that's currently not served by lakeside. What worth will install water and sewer along the side of the highway. If you're on the north side of the highway in order to get connected to our system. You will need to plant your lot and get a plumbing permit and pay impact fees and tap fees. You'll need those permits to extend your private service for water and sewer to the street to connect. You'll need to install a backflow preventer. We call it R. P. Z. Or reduced pressure zone backflow preventer. And also a pressure reducing valve. At the typically at the meter box. And then since we put in a PRV, we're going to need to install a thermal expansion tank or you're going to need to install a thermal expansion tank. And this picture on the left shows an example of a thermal expansion tank installed above the water heater. And this is to protect your system or your water heater. If in the event that the pressure reducing valve closes. The water and sewer impact fees. Impact fees are charged when you connect to a, if you're a new customer to a municipal system to offset the increased demands. They're only used to fund expansion of the water system, which is what we're doing here. We're expanding our system. And then sewer and water tap fees are the fee to actually connect to the pipe. So that's why there's a impact fee and a tap fee. The map on the right shows a red box that we, for the area, we call the south side of jacksboro highway. This is the area that's currently served water. By the town of lakeside and it's been annexed by Fort Worth. So we're going to. Begin serving water there next year, or we'll be able to serve water there next year. There, there will also be a sewer main installed at the same time. And. And you can also connect to the sewer. So, if you're on the south side and you, you want to connect to the sewer, you'll need to. Get a permit for your plumber to extend your service to the street. You'll have to pay an impact fee, but only for sewer. And the same for the tap fee sewer only the permit allows you to extend your private services to the street, like I said. And then when, after you're connected to the Fort Worth sewer system, you can abandon your septic tank system. This, this shows the road runner, road area. If you live over there, if you have a residence, you face road runner. If you have a business in that area, your business faces jacksboro highway, but. Since we're putting the water line along, we're going to connect to you from road runner. So, beginning next year, Lake side will release portions of their CCN that are within the city of Fort Worth city limits. And after we construct these water lines, the road runner will connect you at the location of your current meter. We are not extending sewer to road runner at this time. You don't have the ability to provide sewer service for a road runner circle. So, if you, if you have water from Lake side and you live on road runner or adjacent to it. You have a business that backs up to it, we're going to connect you to our system without charge. We'll install the pressure reducing valves and the thermal expansion tanks for you. If you're in the area that we mentioned that we call the North side, that's for a highway. This is the area that does not have any. Service from the town of lakeside group, but you are in the city of Fort Worth. You're going to connect construct the water and sewer lines along the road. Either in an easement on your property adjacent to the road or in the actually in the highway. And you'll be able to connect to those lines after. After you've paid your water and sewer tap and impact fees. And the lines ready to be connected to. You'll need to hire a plumber to to install all of these things, including the service line extension to the road. So, all of the changes to your plumbing, everything from a meter or the connection back will belong to you and provide that. If you need to get, if you need some information on how to get a plumbing permit, I'm sure your plumber will know how, but here's a phone number. 817 392 2222. Or you can email at C. U. S. T. O. M. E. R. S. E. R. V. I. C. E. at Fort Worth, Texas dot gov. Sadly, we'll make this presentation and information available to you. After the meeting, so you, if you didn't get that. Email address, you'll get it then. Here's a copy of the plan sheet that shows the water system layout. And the darker lines. Oh, this shows the sewer layout. I'm sorry. The darker lines show the sewer system summer bill, Tyler plays along both sides of Jacksonboro highway and. And that's it. We're not going to go over to road runner with the sewer system at this time. So, if you're on the North side, you're going to need to have your lot platted. Before you can get before you can connect to this. To the water system, unless you can show that your property was served by utility. Prior to September 1st, 1987. And if you have any questions about that again, we'll have some contact information. If you decide you want to divide your property into more than 1 part and get more than 1 connection. Then you may be assessed front foot fees, front foot assessment fees. At the time that you connect so at this time. You can connect without paying any front foot assessment fees, but if you divide your lot. You may need to pay those if you own the property and have a well and only require 1 service. You will not be assessed for the front footage of your property. If your property is vacant, if you don't occupy it. May be assessment. This only applies to the North side area. That doesn't have water service from lakeside. You're in that North side area of everybody that lives there or has a business is on a well of some kind. And that's what the Q considers an alternate water source. And that's why you need to get a back flow. We're putting in the PRV because. The water pressure from our system is unusually high at times in this area. So the pressure reducing valve protects your plumbing. And since you have a pressure reducing valve, the plumbing code requires a thermal expansion tank. And if you're in the North side area, you'll your plumber will install both of these. If you're on the South side of. Jack's for a highway and that includes summer bill and Tyler place. We're going to construct a gravity sewer at the same time as the water line. And since, since you're currently a lakeside customer, we're going to connect you. To the Fort Worth water system, you can also connect to the sewer system. If you choose to, but there'll be additional fees for connecting to the sewer system. We're going to extend water and sewer services up to your lot. And for the water, that'll be at the location of your. The current location of your meter, if your meter from lakeside will extend our water service to that point and put in a port worth meter. And connect you to the water at no cost on the sewer. We're going to extend the service up to the right away line. And you'll have to come to that service. Your plumber will do that. So on the, on the South side area. We'll need a pressure reducing valve and thermal expansion. But again, since you're served by lakeside, we'll install those for you to connect you to the water system. If you happen to have a well on your property, you'll, you will need a, a backflow preventer, but I'm not aware of any wells in the, in this particular area. The, the thermal expansion tank is usually put inside the house adjacent to the water here. We'll hire a plumber to come do that. So, as I mentioned, the sewer service will be stubbed out. To your, to the property line at the street and we'll put a clean out in and then your plumber can go from the clean out to your house. Usually at the point where you go to your septic tank, since you're not connected to a municipal sewer system, you'll be charged and tap an impact fee. For the sewer, you can connect to the sewer as soon as the lines are, are ready to be connected to and you've paid the tap and impact fees. And extended the private sewer service with a permit. This is a picture that shows an example of. A sewer line connecting to the sewer main in the street. The blue part on the right, this is the sewer main and the blue. Own shape here, that's the city's clean out in the street. Typically, you'll have other clean outs on your property adjacent to your house or where you have abandoned the line. So the blue part is the part we're going to install the gray part is installed by you or your plumber. And again, if you choose to subdivide your property to get 2 meters at this time. There'll be additional charges for the meter and the sewers connections. If you are only connecting the property, you currently own and occupy and only require 1 service. You will not be assessed for any front footage of your property. If your property is currently vacant and you don't have a water meter from lakeside, it may be assessed front foot fees. We'll have to look at that if we have any people in that situation. If you live on road runner, Fort Worth is going to construct the water line. And and connects you at at the location of your current connection to lakeside. We'll connect to the same place where the lakeside meter is and we'll just put a Fort Worth water meter there. We will not put sewer service in road running after we install the service up to your line. We're going to put a meter and a pressure reducing valve adjacent to the meter. And that means you have to have a thermal expansion tank inside your house, but we're going to hire a plumber to go in and install that in your house. So, again, these customers are currently served by lakeside. So, Fort Worth is going to provide the PRV and the thermal expansion tanks so that you can be connected to Fort Worth system. This map shows the, the new lines we're going to build with this project along Tyler place in Somerville between L a young and Tyler place. Along the south side of. Jacksboro highway and then along the north side of Jacksboro highway. From surf side drive all the way to the end of road runner. Here's some information to help you. Find out how to get a an account set up with the Fort Worth water department. You'll have to open an account with us. And eventually, you'll need to close your account with lakeside after we switch you over number to call is 3, 9, sorry, 817 3, 9, 2, 8, 2, 5, 0. You can also email at Z, Z under bar W, T, R, D, E, L, O, P, M, E, N, T at Fort Worth, Texas. You can come to city hall and their office is located in the lower level of the city. Hall building at 200 Texas street hours are 8 to 5 Monday through Friday. Some of the commonly asked questions are, well, will our sewer service be disrupted? The sewer service will only be interrupted. When your plumber connects from your house to the new service line. Which shouldn't take very long, only a few minutes. This picture on the right shows an example of a city of Fort Worth clean out. Being installed at the street that you'll get a clean up that looks except that the grass around it. People like to usually want to know if access is needed to your property. Most of our work is going to be in in easements. Along the street, or actually in the street. Along jacksboro highway and summer villain, Tyler. Or road runner at some point to get ready to connect to somebody will need to come on the property and install the thermal expansion tank. And we'll, we'll make an appointment with you to do that. So, but by that time, you'll have gotten to know the inspector and probably the contractor. And, you know, we'll, we'll be talking to you to let you know that's coming. If you're in the group, the north side of jacksboro group with no water service from lakeside, you will be hiring the plumber. And installing those things and you'll you'll coordinate that with your plumbing. We'll, we'll continue to use the lakeside system until we're ready to switch you over to our system. And that will only take 15 to 30 minutes when we do this transfer. So the lakeside system is going to stay in service until we're ready to switch you to Fort Worth. If you're on a well, your water will only be turned off when we switch you from the well to the Fort Worth service. If there's any damage to your property, we'll repair it back to original condition condition. We encourage you to take proper, take, take pictures of the front of your property. And we'll also instruct our contractor to take pictures before construction begins. If you have an irrigation system, we will, we will ask you to turn on the irrigation system for us so we can mark the sprinkler heads. And probably be a good idea to photograph those too. We may need to adjust them or we may not. We'll have to see where they are currently still in the design phase. We expect to. Get bids and start construction in the spring of. Next year, the current projected end date is the summer of 2023. After we select a contractor, we will have another meeting so that you can. Talk with the contractor and get the, get a more accurate schedule from him. The city of Fort Worth has a website. Where you can, you can get updates about the project. www.fortworthtexas.gov.
