The City Council of Deer <br />Park has since met to consider the agreement and approved it at its January 19th <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Under the agreement, the City will bill the owner at one and one-half (1-1/2) times <br />its prevailing commercial water rate and will retain the right to interrupt or terminate <br />water service to the facility at any time the water main or the owner's service line <br />experiences a failure. Additionally, the property owner assumes all liability <br />associated with any damage to the Spencer Highway roadway resulting from the <br />loss of water and/or repairs conducted by the owner on the service line. The <br />agreement also contains provisions allowing the City to terminate its water service to <br />the site in the event that the City of Deer Park's potable water facilities become <br />available within two-hundred (200) yards of the owner's site. The term of the new <br />MWSA will consist of three (3) years with an option for an additional two (2) year <br />extension. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br /> <br />Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a <br />Municipal Water Service Agreement between the Cities of La Porte and Deer Park <br />and the owner of the property at 9515 Spencer Highway. <br /> <br />Approved for Citv Council A1!:enda <br />
