How will this decision benefit the Galactic Park and Northstar subdivisions?
A.: Utility Solutions will provide a central water system to the Galactic Park and Northstar developments that is completely separate from the Elk Grove water system. The new system will include water supply wells, a 750,000 gallon ground-level bolted steel water storage tank, and water distribution mains. Utility Solutions also will supply centralized gravity-flow sewer trunk mains in the two subdivisions and will construct a forcemain and two lift stations to convey the collected sewage to the Elk Grove wastewater treatment plant, which will be expanded to handle the increased treatment needs. Such centralized systems provide more reliable water and sewer service with lower maintenance requirements to the homeowner. They are also preferable from an environmental perspective, an important distinction to many homebuyers, and a major priority for Utility Solutions.
