(KMZA)--The city of Seneca will help with the cost of installing water service to a new 12-house residential development.

On the recommendation of a committee, the Seneca City Council voted last week to charge developer Dean Luckeroth for the cost of materials, just over $3,300, but not for labor to bring a water line to the South Amber Estates property line on the west side of South 8th Street.

Luckeroth requested the city help with the cost of installing water service.

City Administrator Matt Rehder told the Council last month the city’s policy is the city doesn’t cover any of the cost for providing water service to new developments.  However, the city has made exceptions.

The Council agreed last month to extend electric service underground to the north and south property lines of the development.

In other business, the Council voted to grant the Boy Scouts permission to use the shooting range at the Seneca Airport for their Day camp from May 29th to June 1st.  60 to 80 boys are expected to attend the event.

And the Council approved a request from the Centralia Pride group to use the city’s property south of Skoch Park on Community Drive for their annual tractor pull on June 11th.
