WA TERSER VI CE TO SAXON
PROPERTY - HENDERSON LANE:
Attorney Hugh Preston was recognized representing Mr.
Frank Henderson, requesting the City remove a water
meter located on the Henderson property and serving
the Saxon property on Henderson Lane (a private road-
way located outside the City Limits).

to the Saxon property was not built by the City and
is a sub-standard line. He further pointed out that

to extend water mains outside of the City.
