Sewer Service: Storm sewers are serving this area at the present time:' Storm water is directed to a retention basin. Sanitary Sewers are presently installed near the easterly side of the study area and will be extended on a direct sewer assessment plan whenever the area residents would demand such an improvement or when- ever a health hazard developed due to failing septic tanks. Since all local sewer construction is financed through the direct assessment plan the City would not have to anticipate a capital investment. The service and maintenance of sdch local sewers would result in a nominal increase in the Sewer Dept. budget. COST SUMMARY Police Fire Street and Traffic Street Lights Sanitation Parks Water and Sewer 10% Governmental Overhead $1800.00 none 2925.00 (.78 mi.) 780.00 185.00 1320,00 none $7000.00 700.00 $7700.00 This cost summary is based on present conditions. Future development may well increase the cost of rendering service; however, we would predict a corresponding increase in tax revenue. An analysis of the Study Area shows that: 1) 69.17% of area perimeter is contiguous to the present City Limits. 2) 64.86% of the area is platted and recorded 3) The present estimated population of the area averages at 4.03 people per acres. The proposed annexation is within the limit$ as established by the Area elan Commission Study of 1966, and we believe the annexation to be in the best interest of the City of South Bend.
