We have learned of a proposed eight inch water an to be located
along the north side of South 154th Street from the river to the
Tukwila Bank location, to be paid for by frontage assessments along
the right of way. We understand that there is no immediate need for
this pipeline, but that it should go in before the highway does.
It is our opinion that a line as large as eight inches would be;iefit
the coamuni” ay a whole and that, therefore, the cost should be
born by the community rather than by those of us unfortunate enough
to be located on its proposed margin.
We would like to go on record ae objecting etrenuosly to such a
proposal unless the eost can be distributed in a more equitable manner.
T. may not have the true facts on the proposal, and would appreciate
it if you would send them to us so that we may be properly informed.
It is requested that you read this letter at the next official meeting
on this proposal and have it made a part of the record.
1e own the property at 6540 South 154th Street.
Sincerely,
e
Thomas 0. Robertson
