Water Service: Water service has been extended into the area and by means of a grid system of 4" service mains all of the mobile home sites will have city water service. Since the entire water distri- bution system in the area was constructed and financed by the developers of the park the Water Department will not have a capital investment. Sewer Service: The entire area will be served by sanitary seers. A 24" sanitary sewer was constructed across Mayflower Road into the development from which a system of 12" and 10" laterals spread out in the park area serving each of the 232 mobile home lots. The entire sanitary sewer system was constructed by the developers; therefore there is no capital investment by the City and consequently no cost and no maintenance responsibilities. Storm Water: All storm water is collected in a series of ponding areas that are systematically drained off into a retention basin all in the area. The basin is drained by a 24" culvert through a lined ditch to the Kankakee River. The maximum level of storm water in the basin is regulated by an overflow structure connected with the city sewers.

The curve of escalating costs may increase the future cost; however, the accompanying increase in tax rates and taxable property would more than offset these increases. _::e proposed annexation is within the limits as established by the area Plan Commission Study of 1966, and we believe the annexation to be in the best interest of the City of South Bend.
