The Bayshore Municipal Utiiity District (BAYMUD) has been unwilling to issue a commitment to provide water due to the limitations of their existing system and related permits. During our recent meeting in your office, and more recently at a workshop session with BAYMUD, they have expressed the intention of sending a letter of request to you. They have also expressed uncertainty relative to which entity would actually be purchasing the water--Lakeland Group, BAYMUD, or the Property Owners Association for the tract. Since this is unclear and can be determined at a later date, we are writing to request the City's approval for the sale of water for~this purpose subject to negotiations to resolve such open issues. BAYMUD has expressed deep reservations relative to their ability to issue a commitment if they are to rely on LaPorte for their source of additional water. Their primary stated concern relates to one state- ment made by you in our recent meeting. Specifically, that water may not be available if other needs develop within the City limits. You did not clarify if this meant water could be cut off from future develop- ment, from existing users, or only in an emergency. In addition, even though you made it clear that LaPorte had the capacity to serve our entire project, they have expressed concern that the Subsidence District will cut your well permits, thus causing the inability of BAYMUD to service our tract.
