SEWER COLLECTION LINES The General Manager stated that he had written to IN MOUNTAIN SHADOWS Mr. Stubblefield re his previous request for CM MOBILE HOME PARK En9ineering to make an inspection of the sewer collection lines already installed in his Mountain Shadows Mobil Home Park, although he had not paid the District for a plan check or inspection. Mr. Stubblefield told the General Manager and Mr. Rowe at a later date that he had hired Pioneer Testing Laboratories to inspect the sewer lines installed within his Park. At a meeting today with both Mr. Stubblefield and a representative of Pioneer Testing Labortories, they were told the contractor would have to dig up thirty percent of the sewer collection line for various kinds of repairs. The original contractor has hired Pacific Coast Pipe Line Company to complete the work.

He indicated that Pioneer Testing Laboratory had requested that all deficiencies found be corrected before the trenches are filled in. CM Engineering felt since they had not been requested to plan check or inspect the installation of the sewer collection line by the District through Stubblefield, that a professional engineer should make a review of the lines and that CM Engineering could privately not do this for Stubblefield as it would in their opinion be a conflict of interest. The General Manager indicated that the time may 4/29/74 come when these lines could be an advantage to the District, should the area east and north of the Stubblefield Mobile Home Park be developed. He reported that Stubblefield stated he would not recommend the District accept the sewer lines with- in this Mobile Home Park until they met all District specifications; also, that as soon as he received a full report he would submit it to the District for their consideration.
