M AR o `667 3C. WATER AND WASTEWATER p BOOK 67 u�'�.9 =;E � (1.) Service Territory Boundaries County Utilities Director Terry Pinto advised that County and City staff have met several times and had the consultant take a look at what squaring off should be done in the area of wastewater. He advised they have just about worked this out, and are down to only about three areas where he felt there is a need for some further discussion. Director Pinto felt this should continue to be discussed on the staff level between City Manager Little and himself and then brought back for action. City Manager Little explained that what is involved here goes back to the years when the county did not have either a water or wastewater system. At that time when people living in various areas outside the city expressed a need for a line, a line was just run down the street with the result that there are little lines spiked out all over and a situation that is no longer livable. Staff is just trying to find out what is the most economical way to cut the pie so that everybody benefits. Chairman Scurlock agreed but noted that. the only complica- tion is that we can't afford to shed some of that customer base right now because we are so new in this business. Utilities Director Pinto concurred that there still were a few little things to be worked out, but he was optimistic that even those areas can be worked out. There is one area where a large transmission line would have to be built if the City does not see fit or can't turn that line over to us. City Manager Little did not share Director Pinto's optimism about that particular line as the City has spent money to put in the line that is there and they are not apt to give it to the county and then spend money to put it in for the second time. He noted if an agreement about it cannot be reached at staff level, he felt this should be presented to the various bodies and say we are all done except for thus and so. 8
