8381 S Alice Vail Appeal of Water Service Denial

Strategic_Initiatives - 8381 S Alice Vail Ln

From: Jill Ward <jillward1008@yahoo.com>To: "Strategic_Initiatives@tucsonaz.gov" <Strategic_Initiatives@tucsonaz.gov>Date: 5/26/2018 6:10 PMSubject: 8381 S Alice Vail Ln

Hi!This is an appeal to the decision made on 8381 S Alice Vail Lane to deny water service

Before I purchased the property at 8381 S Alice Vail Lane, I called City of Tucson Water and asked them if they serviced this area. They said yes, that they had water on the street. I asked them what I needed to do to get a meter put on the property. They said that I needed to fill out an application and pay the $2900 to have a meter installed. At no point during this conversation did the subject of you may not be approved to get water come up. I then went on purchased the property, started improvements on the property, when I almost had enough saved to get the water meter I came downtown to the Alameda office, I proceeded to fill out my application for a water meter. When I was turning in the application, at this point, the subject of I may be denied water to my property came up. I wasn't too worried about it because I had already been told that there was water on the street. A couple of weeks later, I received a letter in the mail saying that I was denied water and to call another office to see if they could help me, I called them, they said no, they couldn't help me either. So I am left here without water, I am already thousands of dollars invested in this property with improvements started. The idea that one could be denied water based on the location of their property isn't really public knowledge. I thought I had done my due diligence by calling to find out if I could get a meter at the property before I purchased it. I called all of the other utilities as well at that time. I am asking you kindly to reconsider. I have lived in Tucson for the last 29 years. I raised my children here, my daughter graduated from the U of A 2 weeks ago, we are citizens of Tucson. My son is attending college in Colorado but he will most likely end up in Tucson long term. I will not be increasing the water usage to the Tucson water supply, I do understand that this is a real concern on a local, national and global level. I am only one person and 2 dogs. My water usage will be moved from inside Tucson City limits to outside city limits, but it will not increase. I would not choose to move outside the Tucson city limits, I love Tucson, but I am not in a financial position to purchase a home within Tucson, if I ever had the chance of property ownership and to create a living situation for myself to take me into retirement, I had to do it this way, pay for one thing at a time. If there is anyway that I could get water at my property it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Jill Ward
