Proposal on extending city water system to cemetery prompts debate at council

A proposal to extend city water service to the Boulder cemetery met numerous questions at the April 16 city council meeting.

Under the proposal, brought to the council by Mayor Rusty Giulio, the city would spend about $35,000 for engineering and materials for about 1400 feet of six inch water line and Buster Bullock, whose land would benefit from the line extension, would provide a lift station and labor. The sewer system connections for the subdivision would be entirely on Bullock, said the mayor. Giulio said that would enable Bullock to create 24 new city lots of about a half acre each.

The new subdivision would benefit the community by allowing for residential growth, said Giulio.
