City Engineer Jain stated that water mains. s.hould_.be..ins.tall.ed in the same pro- . ject in order. to conform with..the polie ar. establishe .d_for.other...Emerald Lake area annex- ations.. This matter_ was_ referred t.o.,the.City.Attorney.f.or an..op.inion....as to whether the water main could be. extended to the nearest adequate.source"of_supply at Cordilleras 1 Road, and the City be reimbursed as . additional _ conne.ctions made . to .this main. The City Attorney has advised that_.this. could .. only .be.done.by. methods: 1. Installation of the additional water main, approximately. 1200 feet in length, by the City, making a connection charge, through the unincorporated portion of Upland, to ultimately reimburse the City for this cost. 2. Creation of a joint assessment district with the County for the construction of the complete water main b.e Avenue. and Cordilleras .

We would like to know when we can get the services so we can start building our homes." These letter were followed.bu a. lengthy discussion regarding the necessity of improved water mains.. Councilman Royer..moved that the people understand that the water system will be improved at a later date and that the sewer line be extended at this time and when the water is . available ..that_ they will. assume_ their portion. of the cost, seconded by Councilman Bri.tschgi.....

Mr. Mairani scated.tha.t they.egre.ed_to deed 25' to the City so that a 50' street could . be built.. .This was followed. by. discussion as to whether or not the people should give the City 5' instead_of.the 2'...
