Uptown Public Realm Strategy

I believe part of the issue with both the park at the corner of King and William as well as the William street pumping station is water protection. My understanding is that the William Street pumping station will continue to have wells into the future, but will no longer do any treatment, instead pumping the untreated water to Strange Street to be treated. As part of the drinking water supply, that probably prevents putting a building on that land. The park by Kuntz lane has monitoring wells of some sort that might pose an issue for development, not to mentions some rather substantial electrical vaults that were installed as part of the Ion work.
