Moore, Jr. of Mobile Living, Incorporated, appeared relative to their application to connect 200 trailers at Buccaneer Park, which they have purchased, to our sewer system. Mr. Howell stated that the request was for 200 spaces and if they decided to add any additional units there is no guarantee at this moment that they could hook these units to our system. Mr. Moore advised that they understood this and if additional units were added they would have to go through same procedure as for these. Also Mr. Howell repeated for the record that they would be charged for all 200 spaces at the outside City rates whether they were being used or not. There would also have to be inspections to make sure there is no leakage in the line. There was discussion during which it was brought out that this line is a force main not gravity line and therefore cannot be connected into . They will also have to post 6 months sewer charge deposit or a bond to cover that much.
