The following letter directed to the City Commission by the City Engineer, was read by the City Clerk and ordered to become a part of these minutes. May 18, 1959 "City Commission City of Yakima Dear Sirs: In the past few years, several "private" sewers have been constructed outside the City limits and tied into the City's system. These were paid for by the person desiring the sewer, and were constructed by him according to the ex- istirg standards. Other properties along these sewers have been permitted. to connect to the sewer and have paid the original "user" for that privilege. As a result several connections have been made without the knowledge of the Water -Sewer Department, and the connection charge as established in Ordinance B -2192 has not been paid. In other instances the connection charge has been paid, and the City has acted as a collectionagent for others. It is felt that it would be better for the sewer to be purchased from the original constructors, so that there is no question as to control. The estimated cost of purchasing the various sewers is: Fruitvale- Laurel $981.50 Hathaway Avenue 838.56 Gerritson Sewer 1179.00 McCrory Sewer 25.40 Harkema Sewer 396.63 Total $3421.09 Future connections, according to Ordinance B -2192, will ret- if connection made when property is still outside Fruitvale City $800.00 Hathaway 1845.00 Gerritson 2210.00 City) Mc Crory 405.00(already in Harkema 4.36.00( already in $TC9 .00 urn the following: if connection made when inside City $500.00 1145-00 1406.00 405.00 36.00 3 92.00 It would be best to consider these as sewer extensions, and charged to the sewer extension account.
