ARKANSAS TO: Members of the Fayetteville City Council THRU: Ben Mayes, Administrative Services Director FROM: Sharon Crosson, Water and Sewer Services Supt. (7(/ DATE: January 19, 1994 SUBJECT: Request for Approval of Modification to Water Purchase Contract with Mt. Olive Water Association Staff requests approval of a modification of contract between the City of Fayetteville and Mt. Olive Water Association, and for the effective date on the modification of contract to begin February 1, 1994. This modification allows Mt. Olive to continue to purchase water from the City of Fayetteville, as well as purchase water from other sources. The modification also provides for a minimum "take - or -pay" amount, which guarantees payment to the City of Fayetteville for a minimum of 2.7 million gallons of water per month. Mt. Olive is currently purchasing all of its water from the City of Fayetteville at a rate of $2.70 per 1,000 gallons. Beginning this month, Mt. Olive will have an opportunity to purchase water from the Huntsville Water System. Due to the fact that they are anticipating the addition of approximately 100 new customers to their system (a 10% increase to their system), and the fact that the cost for water through Huntsville is much lower than the cost for water from Fayetteville, they have requested that we allow them to purchase approximately 80% of their water from Huntsville. The other 20% of their customers would remain on the Fayetteville water system because of physical restraints of their system. The existing water purchase contract, which expires on February 2, 2001, prohibits Mt. Olive from purchasing water from any other source. Our proposed modification will allow them to purchase water elsewhere, but will also guarantee that the City of Fayetteville be paid for a minimum of 2.7 million gallons of water per month, whether they use it or not. This provision will help to cover most of the capital outlay that has been incorporated into our rate structure for Mt. Olive's use of our system. We have negotiated this issue with Mt. Olive over the past 3 years and are happy to have finally reached an agreement. We feel that this modification we have offered demonstrates a tremendous effort on the City's behalf to try and be a good neighbor with Mt. Olive. /slc 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 501-521-7700 FAX 501-575-8257 • .'ATER PURCHASE CONTRACT 6/L(Gff.in.- coNtflcT) This contract for :he sale and cu'chas✓.e KJ', water, made and entered into this 14..? day of /.W , , 196Y, by and betweer the City of rayetteville, Arkansas, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the 'City", and the Mount Clive Water Assoc-ation, hereinafter referred to as the "Buyer).
