OCT 5 1993 .� PACE 881 <br />water through its existing plant to individuals at their <br />discretion. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock stated his main concern was not <br />GDU's distribution system, but their source of water. <br />Mr. Fancher thought the only concern there would be <br />with the ground storage, and suggested that the water <br />agreement read "the Utility agrees to retire its existing <br />treatment." Attorney Brandenburg preferred that it read <br />"retire its water production facility." <br />Attorney Brandenburg wanted it made very clear that <br />this agreement is in no way a guarantee to GDU of 1,482,000 <br />gallons; all it says is that if they follow the required <br />procedures and reserve water capacity, then they will have <br />that that amount reserved and committed to them. He <br />explained that what GDU is saying is that they are hoping <br />the County will be able to supply all the water that is <br />needed down there, which they anticipate to be at the most <br />1,400,000 gallons, and hope that when the need arises on the <br />overall County system to expand the plant, that the County <br />will consider them just like they would any other customer. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock asked Attorney Brandenburg if <br />the contract was in order and Administrator Wright stated <br />that this was not something that was done overnight but took <br />almost a year. The Water Agreement would be a benefit to <br />the County at large. and also to General Development <br />residents because they will not have to bear the cost of GDU <br />building a new facility. <br />Mr. Fancher felt the only risk General Development sees <br />is that at sometime way down the road the County might <br />decide to end this contract. <br />Administrator Wright stated there was not a buy-out <br />provision, but felt that there should be a gift provision. <br />Mr. Fancher felt he would have a problem with that. <br />46 <br />
