GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Property Owner is proposing conversion of a portion of the existing office/maintenance structure into residential apartments for housing of employees.

Confirmation of taps or will serve letters for water and also confirmation of the capacity of the OWTS to serve the proposed change in use will be required.
