Based on a survey by the Weld County Health Department there are a total of 23 homes in the area. Currently, all of the homes are served by septic systems. The survey was able to determine that 55.6% of the homes have failing septic systems. In 47% of the households effluent is either surfacing or being discharged onto the ground. This represents a very serious environmental hazard for the residents of this area. As a means of addressing this problem, the City of Evans has agreed to extend their sewer lines and collector to this unincorporated area. Weld County will own the lines but subcontract the operation and maintenance to the City of Evans. This project is the first phase of a two-phase project which will provide public facility improvements to the 49th Street area and the Valley View area which is located just to the North of 49th Street. Both areas have a high percentage of low income households and will require both public facility improvements and housing. 930332 g.
