How many land owners need to commit to water line expansion for the project to move forward in the Evington area?
If 66% of those in the water line expansion areas (who own properties with habitable residences or other structures that need drinking water), commit via petition, a connection to public water service (pending a public hearing and Board approval) would be mandatory for all land owners who possess structures with plumbing systems in that special service area.

For the Evington project, a total of 81 (47 for Phase I and 34 for Phase II) commitments must be received for Board of Supervisors consideration.
