Dear Ken:
It appears that subdivision construction activities in the vicinity of MacArthur Boulevard and Bethel
School are occurring near, if not on top of, a Dallas' 54" water transmission line serving Coppell,
Flower Mound, Irving and D/FW Airport. An additional three to four feet of cover may have been
placed over the pipeline, an air relief valve, and other appurtenances (see attached copies).
Please provide an update on the status of this construction. Please provide plan and profile design
plans for the improvements within the vicinity of the pipeline for our review. We will then forward
our comments and recommendations to you.
It is imperative that Dallas Water Utilities be able to operate and maintain this important pipeline.
Interruptions in service significantly effect our wholesale customers in the area.
Ken, if possible, your response by September 26, 1997, will be greatly appreciated. If you have any
questions, please feel free to call me or Tonia Lichtenberg at 214/670-5886.
Sincerely,
Manager
Wholesale Services Division
