Monson, Cherie L. <br /> From: Monson, Cherie L. <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 4:46 PM <br /> To: Tpuzak@comcast.net <br /> Cc: Skogman, Kaye I.; Mena, Mela A. <br /> Subject: RE: new gas@1340 Baldur Park Rd, Orono <br /> Fred, <br /> This is a very rough estimate since I don't have a documented plan in front of me. <br /> Your service line only option was measured at 525 ft.—75 ft. of credit= 450 ft. x $4/foot=$1800. You will be <br /> billed for this amount after the service line is installed. <br /> If you were to install main and service (only available if all of the conditions shown below are met), here are <br /> your estimates. <br /> The footage estimate would be 500 ft. You would receive an upfront credit of 150 ft. for your house so you <br /> would have to send me a check before installation is scheduled for$1050 (350 ft. x $3/ft.). Your service line <br /> would be less than 75 feet so there would be no charge for service in this case. If the other 2 sites are built on, <br /> served with natural gas and use natural gas as their primary heat source within 3 years of the installation of the <br /> main,you will receive a $450 check back for each of those lots. According to our tariff,you do not receive the <br /> $900 credit before the main is installed since we don't know when those sites will be built on. Our tariff states <br /> that we only refund within 3 years of the main installation which means that if they are served after the three <br /> years,you would not receive any credit back for them. <br /> We need the following items in order to install main on private property. <br /> 1. A 10-20 foot Drainage and Utility Easement shown on a plan where the gas line will be installed within <br /> that easement. <br /> 2. A clear pathway where the gas line will be installed in the easement. <br /> 3. Documentation from the City showing the additional future building sites on a site plan or plat. <br /> If these conditions are met,we can design, permit and install a gas main on your property. However, it takes at <br /> least 2 months lead time to design, permit and install a gas main so it is possible that we wouldn't be able to <br /> install main yet this year since it is already September(depending on how early there is frost). <br /> If you choose not to install main based on the above information, installing only a service line does not require a <br /> design or permit in the City of Orono so it can be scheduled within a month of your site ready date. It is my <br /> understanding that we plan to install a large enough service line so that additional homes can use the same line <br /> in the future (as long as a legal easement has been created over the location where the gas line has been <br /> installed). <br /> I will be on vacation starting tomorrow (9/7). Please contact Kaye or Mela if you would like to schedule your <br /> service installation as originally discussed. Otherwise, forward the requested information above to my <br /> attention. I will start the process of designing, permitting and installing the gas main when I return from <br /> vacation on Monday (9/17). <br /> Thank you. <br />
