advising of a P/Wks.Comm.re
request for
water connec-
tion-440
Lincoln Ave. :
(CE. Rastad)

From the Public Works Committee, January 16th, 1976,
request from Mr. E. Rastad for a watar connection to his property at 440
Lincoln Avenue from a 2" waterline located in the District of Coquitlam
which is tied into the City's water system at Lincoln and 3t. Thomas,
and that in order to obtain the connection it would be necessary for the
City to request the same from the District of Coquitlam. In its report,
the Committee pointed out that there is an existing agreement between
the District and the City which prohibits the District from obtaining
additional water connections for new developments and recommended that as the
District has twice in the past requested that this part of the agreement
be waived and has been refused by the City, the City not request the
District to provide a water connection for 440 Lincoln Avenue.

The City Clerk then advised he had just been handed a memorandum
from the City Engineer addressed to Aldermen Mabbett and Thompson further
to the January 16th, 1976 Public Works Committee report stating therein
that Mr, Rastad has taken steps to obtain an easement across the watercourse
through his property in preparation for a water connection off Laurier
Avenue and that the owners of the watercourse property involved lost title
due to non-payment of taxes; further, that the Department of Lands in
Victoria is in the process of getting the watercourse property back in
the name of the Crown and as soon as this has been completed, they have
indicated to Mr. Rastad that he could obtain an easement for his water
connection at 440 Laurier Avenue; however, this will take some time and
there is nothing the City can do to speed up the process,

Moved by Alderman Thompson:

Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That the request of Mr. E. Rastad for a water connection from the
2-inch water line located in the District of Coquitlam to service his

property at 440 Lincoln Avenue, be denied, Carried.
