dry wells. The fire department was asked what their contingency
plan would be for water, and they advised that they would continue
to obtain water from a hydrant approximately three miles from their
location. At this point in time, Olin VFD is not worried and does
not feel this is creating a problem. The site is based upon a
three-mile area with only 20-22 potential customers. There has not
been any canvassing of these potential customers if they would want
water. Based on these numbers, Mr. Fisher stated he felt it would
be cost prohibitive to extend water in this area. Cost of the
water line for three miles using a rough estimate of $15 a linear
ft. (includes cost of pipe, valves, fire hydrants & engineering)
would be around $200,000-250,000. Mr. Carson has also talked to
Iredell Water and was told that this corporation talked with FHA in
their current application. The FHA felt that the water line would
openup too much farmland for development, and they recommended
this not be included in Iredell Water's current application. When
this process is completed, Mr. Keith Snoddy of Iredell Water
stated, if interest was shown from the residents, his company would
be glad to look into the matter. Mr. Fisher was unable to talk to
representatives of Mt. Bethel Church and there is a greater
concentration of customers here for this line (17 to 18 RQtential
customers/households).
The county manager advised that letters had been sent to
Alexander, Yadkin, and Davie Counties to see what interest they
might have in working with Iredell in joint projects, i.e., Hunting
Creek. A letter also went to Alexander and Davie County to discuss
with them the possibility of jointly extending water service to the
portions of the county they could serve. Communication has been
received back from Davie indicating they have referred the matter
to their Soil & Water Office.
