the averaage hora~eowners in VVoaaderview and there coupling there with the Coastvievr aides
that want a ~w syst®sn theyy have found ar that will pay a portion of the assessed errs®rstrt
(this portf®n wocrld have been naa~h Iarger° in ~hlondorview if they were not lammed). 'This
aatia~te, seed we D~now hove esatcs arc, does not itaclude $1600 for a water meter and
w er it will cost yoer to corsnecfi. In our strata we already have coaanty water we do not
have to pay the $1600. Howwadver, our water line ca~ently rows behind our house vain require
either tearing tap a eubstaYtdart arraount of eoncrete sidewalk and driveway or ~routirag s std
