  10. GARDEN SOIL TO FILL BEDS . . . 1.78 CUBIC YARDS PER BED SOIL FOR 20 BEDS = 35.6 CUBIC YARDS That’s a lot of dirt to spread!

  11. ADDITIONAL WATER METER . . .OPTION 1 EAGLE LANDSCAPING WILL INSTALL THE APPROPRIATE VALVES, A MAINLINE TO THE GARDEN AND SIX QUICK COUPLER ASSEMBLIES. THE CITY OF RICHARDSON WOULD INSTALL A SEPARATE METER TO SUPPLY WATER FOR THE GARDEN.

  14. ONGOING COSTS DURING GROWING SEASON BASED ON EPIPHANY’S AVERAGED JULY & AUGUST 2010 RATES, THE PROPOSED GARDEN’S PROJECTED WATER RATES PER 1000 GALLONS OF WATER USED WOULD BE: ) OPTION 1 – NEW DEDICATED METER AND LINE $3.83 PER THOUSAND GALLONS (NO SEWER RATE CHARGE) ESTIMATED 8K GALLON USAGE PER MONTH = $ 30.64 PER MONTH OPTION 2 – WATER LINE TIED INTO CURRENT METER $7.67 PER THOUSAND GALLONS (INCLUDES SEWER CHARGE) ESTIMATED 8K GALLON USAGE PER MONTH = $61.36 PER MONTH
