City of Port Coquitlam,
2272 McAllister Avenue,
Port Coquitlam, 3.¢,

Attention: Mr. Ron Freeman,
City Clerk

Dear Sir,”

The District Couneil received a report from the Engineering
Supervisor indicating that the City cf Port Coquitlam had offered to
Provide a 2" metered connection at the expense of the District upon
conditions particularly set forth in a letter dated June 21, 1973 from
Mr. V. G. Borch, City Engineer,

The District accepted the offer of the City by way of a
letter dated July 18, 1973 sent to the attention of Mr. V. G. Borch.

The District Council noted, among the conditions for
connection mentioned above, that eight only connections to serve exist-
ing residences were to be taken off the said 2" installation.

The conditions set out would clearly preclude the District
installing a connection to serve the property of T, K, Coughlin, a non»
resident owner of the Property described as Parcel A, Lots 35 and 36,

Sections 5 and 8, Twp. 40, Explanatory Plan 15732, - The said Mr. Coughlin
has long been the owner of the property described and in 1965 was given
approval by the Council of the District to use the property as a kennel

for breeding, training and boarding dogs, The Council have been advised that
the Coughlins have attempted to drill for water by a firm approved by the
Health Department and that drilling has been carried on toa depth of 90 feet
without producing suitable water, all a> a cost of approximately $1,000.00.

The District Council, of course, in indicating its approval for
the use as intended by the Coughlins did so firmly believing that water would
be available by drilling, this having been done prior to indications by the
Health Deparement that the wells in the area were condemned because of
ccliform contamination,

As & reeult of the foregoing extenuating circumstances
and without prejudice to the Agreement between the City and District in
respect to their receat Agreement for the supply of eight existing
residences, the District Council resolved to request that the City give
consideration to Permitting the District to allow one further connection
to the 2" installation, such additional installation to serve the Coughlins.

Would you put this meter forward to your Councii for
consideration and advise in due course,
