(b) Discussion or other action regarding furnishing effluent water to Enterprise Products — C. <br /> Alexander <br /> City Manager Corby Alexander presented a summary and advised all proposed costs will be <br /> incurred by Enterprise Products. <br /> Councilmember Earp asked if the effluent water the City may provide to Enterprise Products would <br /> be needed for expanding the City's future water capacity. Public Works Director Dave Mick advised <br /> the City would never treat effluent water for potable water. <br /> Mr. Alexander stated it would be difficult to imagine a City use for this effluent water. <br /> Mayor Rigby asked if furnishing effluent water to Enterprise Products will affect the Bayforest Golf <br /> Course or Little Cedar Bayou. Mr. Mick responded no. The flow to the golf course will remain the <br /> same. What's going to Little Cedar Bayou, we'd be taking as much as we could. Mayor Rigby <br /> questioned how many gallons of water is treated daily. Mr. Mick responded on average 2.8 million <br /> gallons a day—a billion gallons a year, varying on wet or dry seasons. Mr. Alexander stated that is <br /> how much we discharge, not how much we treat. <br /> Mayor Rigby asked if the City needed this water, would the amount going to Enterprise Products <br /> decrease by what is needed by the City. Mr. Mick responded that Enterprise Products will want a <br /> contractual minimum—approximately 400 million gallons over the period of a year. <br /> Councilmember Zemanek asked what is the route for getting the water from the outflow to Morgan's <br /> Point? Mr. Mick responded a route has not been determined until staff is directed to move forward. <br /> Councilmember Moser questioned if the process of furnishing the effluent water will be inconvenient <br /> to citizens once the route is determined. City Manager Corby Alexander responded one of the main <br /> concerns is creating the least amount of disturbance, but a 16" diameter line running from 4t' street <br /> to Morgan's Point will create some disruption. <br /> Steve Stephens, Director and Project Manager for Enterprise Products, provided information for <br /> construction and avoiding an impact in the community. <br /> Councilmember Moser moved for City Manager Corby Alexander and staff to continue to look at <br /> this project. Councilmember Clausen seconded.
