title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE POTABLE WATER FOR RESALE AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY TO PROVIDE POTABLE WATER SUPPLY TO HILLSBORO PINES.
body
BACKGROUND:
The City entered into a Potable Water for Resale Agreement (PWRA) with Broward County in 1973. The County owns and operates the potable water treatment plant, District 2A, and is the supplier of potable water to the City. The Agreement has been amended four times, as follows:
• In 1991 to provide for treated potable water in excess of the metered capacity;
• In 1994 to provide for treated potable water in excess of the metered capacity;
• In 2000 to provide an additional connection to County’s potable water system and to extend the term of the Agreement; and
• In 2013 to allow the City to operate emergency interconnects with third parties and to amend terms of the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The County is in the process of constructing a potable water distribution system in unincorporated Broward County, generally located at the northwest corner of the City boundary, also known as Hillsboro Pines. Since the City owns and operates the potable water distribution system surrounding the Hillsboro Pines area, the City will in turn be the supplier of potable water to Hillsboro Pines. This fifth amendment to the PWRA is necessary to allow the supply of potable water to Hillsboro Pines by the City. For accounting and financial purposes and consideration, the water volume used by Hillsboro Pines will be deducted from the total water volume used by the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
