Phase I will address the need to construct collection system to approximately 51 homes or approximately 211 persons. Phase II will address the need to construct collection system to approximately 52 homes or approximately 205 persons.
Upon construction such system, the system will be turned to Lower Valley Water District for operation and maintenance. |
