Re: Construction of Minor Entranceway at Howell Creek Drive
The construction of the Tuscawiila Lighting and Beautification District (TLBD) enhancement at
Howell Creek Drive started in September of 2002 and was expected to be completed in
approxanately three months. Before the start of construction numerous members of the
planning committee, the Capital Projects Coordinator, George F. Edwat'ds, Consultant; William
E. Staamer, and the general contractor representati~we; Matt were advised that our water supply
pipe from the meter of Seminole Utilities to our home was located directly beneath the location
of the beautification entranceway wall. The service pipe was located at the time of excavation
and was at a depth and position that placed it directly through the ceznter of the concrete footing
to be poured. At that time, I was assured by the contractor the pipe would be relocated before
the concrete was installed. The construction site was approved by the city inspector without the
Pipe relocat~n and the concrete was installed, enclosing the pipe. The contractor again agreed
to remote the pipe around the base of the entranceway wall, but that has never occurred. The
City of Winter Springs and The TLBD are fully responsible for aay breaks, leaks or nrtemtptions
in our water supply.
We have had numerous telephone conversations with George Edwards, William Steamer and
recently with Alan Hfil about our concern, but no visible action has occurred. We feel that the
respo~'ble person(s) are aware of the problem an+d have had ample time to address it without our
continuous prompting.
It now has been several months sitace all work has stopped at this site and we have never been
advised of a completion date for the relocation of our water pipe we are requesting your
assistance in correcting this dilemma before any problem occurs with our water supply and we
incur a major expense.
Please advise us of your action and a projected date of problem resolution.
