REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON NATER LINE EXTENSION - MR. HARRY TSUMAS: Mr. Tsumas came
to the board regarding a problem with nitrates in the water from the wells that he has on his
developmental property. These wells supply potable water for a housing development and for indus-
tries located in this development. Mr. Tsumas was at the Statesville City Council Meeting on May
15th, and was told that they would sell him water at wholesale price for this area. The City
Council also went on record to support his proposed line.
Mr. Tsumas' request is for the County to assist in the financing of the line from the 12" line
at Bell Road to the Southeast Development Park. The cost is estimated to be approximately $150,000.
Mr. Tsumas' asked the County to consider paying for 70% of this amount.
Mr. Kelly Sheeks, county environmentalist, was present and spoke in reference to this project.
He said there were other problems with the water other than the nitrates, these problems being that
the water is extremely hard and that it has a high sulfate content.
In discussing the board's decision, Chairman Sloan inquired about some time for the board to
study the matter because of budget constraints and other factors, as well. Mr. Tsumas said he would
go ahead with the line, but would like a letter of endorsement from the County, stating that they
concurred with the project and asking the State agencies to act with haste in getting the matter
though the regulatory agencies in Raleigh. Bell Construction Company has said they could install
the line in a 30 -day period, if all the approvals could be granted.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to adopt the following:
The commissioners go on record endorsing the proposal to extend the water line from the end of
Statesville's line to the Southeast Industrial Park, and encourage all the regulatory agencies to
act with as much haste as possible to allow the line to be installed to the end that the businesses
and people who live on the line can get potable water as quickly as possible.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
