Cunningham, City Manager FROM: Sam Wahl, Director of Water Utilities May 18, 1979 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting Work Session Item Preview May 24, 1979 Item # 3 Discuss Yellowhouse Canyon Addition Water System. We have most of the information about the Yellowhouse Canyon Water System that is available. The best information we could get from the Public Utility Commission is: 1) The system is not under their regulation since it's privately owned. 2) If the City built a competing system we could obtain a certificate of necessity and that the City could operate in the area. 3) Mr. Martin could continue to operate his system under a grandfather clause provision without a certificate. We are not interested in opeLating a competing system or building into that area, Mr. Martin has indicated by letter that he is willing to sell the system. I feel that the only reason that the City should be interested in acquiring the system is that the present system is somewhat unreliable, the water is of not the best quality, and the rates are quite high. Ur) -der the Pro Rata Ordinance the City of Lubbock has required developers to either pay for the construction of distribution systems or construct the dis- trikution systems and then turn them over to the City at no cost to t ity. In instances such as this subdivision, the developer would have been required to pay for not only the lines in the streets and alleys but the approach main also, and then receive a refund for the cost of the approach main as other customers tied onto this approach main. Our estimate of the cost of an approach main to this subdivision is approximately $26,000, We have made an estimate of the value of this system, as it exists today, based on original cost and _ using the same depreciation schedule that we use for the City system, that the present value of the distribution system is $25,000 and that the wells, the pumps, and the storage tank have a value of $8,000. The wells and the storage t nk and the small booster station and the tract of land on which it is located have no value to the City whatsoever. I believe it has salvage va ue only. t 3 Lp-ry J. Cunningham, City Manager May 18, 1979 Page 2 The present system serves a total frontage of 9,888 feet of which approximately half has been developed. The probability of the remaining undeveloped property served -by this system being developed is very remote, as very few houses have been built in the area in the last four or five years. At --the present time,_ there are around 70 houses in the subdivision. Since the residents are served with water service, I don't believe that the City could charge them a pro rata charge if the City acquired the system. _nL could be charged the pro rata although I see no pf-obability of that happening. I believe the onl-v revenue from the system will be the sale of water to the existing customers, and the revenue generated will be eaual to the cost of operating the system. I would not recommend that the City try to operate the system with the wells and booster station as it is presently operated. If the City acquired the system ether through purchase or gift or whatever,/ would recommend that it be done only with the thought in mind that the system be tied into our existing water system and that the supply system be abandoned. I have been _told that there is an outstanding debt on the syst-em. I do not know whether the lenders have a mortgage on all of the system or what, but there is supposedly a deed of trust that would rip=rpa hefore the City could accept the system or purchase the system. The present owner of the water system is not the developer of the property, and I do not know whether he owns any of the vacant property in the subdivision, I rather doubt that he does. I do not know whether the Clark Estate owns the vacant property or whether it has been sold to individual owners. The City has not purchased any water systems in the last 15 or 20 years to my knowledge. In the two instances of private water systems that I am familiar with (the Clayton Carter Addition and the Skyview Addition) where private water systems existed at the time the City annexed the area, the City built competing water systems at the request of the property owners and charged the property owners pro rata charges. In those instances the distribution system was of a substandard nature. The Yellowhouse system was built to City specifica- tions. ,1 would not think that it would be prudent to bui It a competing system into this area, because of the quality of the distribution system. 1 have talked to the attorney for the lien holder and he has assured me they are not interested in operating a water system. I don't know what the relationship is between the present owner and the lending agency, but I have reason to believe that the owner is quite anxious to get out from under the operation of the system because it is too small to be a profitable operation. 1 just don't have any recommenda- tion as to what should be done in this instance. I feel that if the City does acgtiirP it it would hP purely as an accomodation to the 60 or 70 families living in that area and would require the subsidy of the approach line and whatever payment the City made to the present owner or lien holder. 4am'Wahl Director of Water Utilities SW/cr City Of Lubbock Counter Fitting CITY OF LUBBOCK § COUNTY OF LUBBOCK § STATE OF TEXAS § 2022011834 18 PGS ORD 101 ro, 111&%� 11% ,tiw � 1i u 1 CERTIFICATE TO COPY OF PUBLIC RECORD I hereby certify, in the performance of the functions of my office, that the attached instrument is a full, true and correct copy of Ordinance No. 7747 as the same appears of record in my office and that said document is an official record from the public office of the City Secretary of the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, State of Texas, and is kept in said office.

In instances such as this subdivision, the developer would have been required to pay for mot only the lines in the streets and alleys but the approach main also, and the receive a refund for the cost of the approach main as other customers tied onto this approach main. Our estimate of the cost of an approach main to this subdivision is approximately $26.00 We have made an estimate of the value of this system, as it exists today, based on original cost and using the same depreciation schedule that we use for the City system, that the p,esent value of the distribution system is $25,000 and that the wells, the P. umps, and the storage tank have a value of $8,000. The wells and the storage tankand _the small booster station and the tract of land on which it is located have no value to the City whatsoever. I believe it has salvage value only. w' La-ry J. Cunningham, City Manager May 18, 1979 Page 2 The present system serves a total frontage of 9,888 feet of which approximately half has been developed. The probability of the remaining undeveloped property served -by this system being developed is very remote, as very few houses have been built in the area in the last four or five years. At^the present time, there are around 70 houses in the subdivision. Since the residents are served with water service, I don't believe that the City could charge them a pro rata charge if the City acquired the system. Any future development could be charged the pro rata although 1 see no probability of that happening. I believe the only revenue from the system will be the sale of water to the existing customers, and the revenue generated will be eoual to the cost of operating the system. I would not recommend that the City try to operate the system with the wells and booster station as it is presently operated. If the City acquired the system ether through purchase or gift or whatever would recommend that it be done only with the thought in mind that the system be tied into our existing water system and that the supply system be abandoned. I have been _told that there is an outstanding debt on the system. I do not know whether the lenders have a mortgage on all of the system or what, but there is supposedly a deed of trust that wotild h;;vp to he rlearpd hPfnrn the City could accept the system or purchase the system. The present owner of the water system is not the developer of the property, and I do not know whether he owns any of the vacant property in the subdivision, I rather doubt that he does. I do not know whether the Clark Estate owns the vacant property or whether it has been sold to individual owners. The City has not purchased any water systems in the last 15 or 20 years to my knowledge. In the two instances of private water systems that I am familiar with (the Clayton Carter Addition and the Skyview Addition) where private water systems existed at the time the City annexed the area, the City built competing water systems at the request of the property owners and charged the property owners pro rata charges. In those instances the distribution system was of a substandard nature. The Yellowhouse system was built to City specifica- tions. .1 would not think that it would be prudent to buil( a competing system into this area, because of the quality of the distribution `system. 1 have talked to the attorney for the lien holder and he has assured me they are not interested in operating a water system. I don't know what the relationship is between the present owner and the lending agency, but I have reason to believe that the owner is quite anxious to get out from under the operation of the system because it is too small to be a profitable operation. I just don't have any recommenda- tion as to what should be done in this instance. I feel that if the City does acquire. it it would hp pyirely as an accomodation to the 60 or 70 families living in that area and would require the subsidy of the approach line and whatever paymenNt the City made to the present owner or lien holder. am Wehl Director of Water Utilities SW/cr FILED AND RECORDED OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS � t Kelly Pinion County Clerk Lubbock County TEx 03/10/2022 ll:b AM FEE: g94.00 2022011834
