Honorable William C. Wodtke, Jr. July 18, 1978 ` Page 2 Re: City Water Service - OutsideCity Limits On Mainland. AGREEMENT, as it relates to City owned water distribution facilities." A literal reading of the first sentence could be construed to mean.that the City was not authorized to connect any water or sewer customers outside the City limits on the mainland except by tripartite agreements, even in "areas the City was serving in 197'3." The second sentence obviously means that the County can offer to purchase the City's water facilities in the subject meas provided the City is serving those areas with water service only at the time of the offer to purchase or, perhaps, the closing of the sale. As you can see,, several points of agreement are very ambiguous'regaarding the limited areas adjacent to the City limits on the mainland. The City -proposes to resolve 'these questions, hopefully, once and for all. The City proposes to assume the specific land areas as shown in the cross -hatched areas on the enclosed map as the City's temporary water service areas until such time as the City and the County might agree to sell paid facilities to the County. The possible sale does not include the three (3) areas shown in a yellow color. The City does not provide either water or sewer service in those areas and does not plan to do so. Elliott Grosh states that those areas are not necessary to logically divide the area from either a system reliability standpoint or from the standpoint of the physical access to a later to be constructed County water and/or sewer system. The City provides sewer service only to the golf course club house north of 33rd Street (Vero Beach Country Club area) and to two (2) small subdivisions (Phyl-Ann Terrace and Vantrician Park) along 40th Avenue between 14th Street and 12th Street and along 42nd Avenue between 14th Street and 12th Street. The City does not plan to extend sewer service in any areas adjacent to the City limits on the mainland except to serve lots, if any, in those two (2) subdivisions which are not now being served by the City. The City's engineering staff believes it makes sense for the City to retain the golf course club house for both water and sewer service. There are no compelling engineering; reasons why the City could not sell both the water and sewer facilities in the two •(2) subdivisions to the County provided the County would pay the costs for relocating an existing pumping station located PAGE F; 1` t4 Honorable William C.
