Water Service Agreement 3.) Utility Extension Agreement 4.) Area Map SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Council has previously approved a policy for provision of potable water service to companies outside the corporate city limits that have current Industrial District Agreements with the City. Lubrizol Corporation wishes to pursue water service under the terms and conditions offered by the City. Based on 175 on-site employees, the average daily demand is estimated to be 8,750 gallons. Lubrizol Corporation will pay one and one-half (1-%s) times the City's current rate for water service. The term of the Water Service Agreement is for five (5) years, plus any renewals and extensions thereof. However, the Agreement shall automatically expire at such time as there is no effective Industrial District Agreement between the parties or if the city exercises the right of termination. Based on the average daily demand of 8,750 gallons, the applicant is subject to an administrative connection charge in the amount of S 15,000.00 that has subsequently been paid to the City. Staff recommends approval of the Water Service Agreement as submitted. Additionally, Lubrizol Corporation will enter into a Utility Extension Agreement with the City to provide water service to their site. The extension will consist of approximately 2200 L.F. of 8" waterline and will tie-on to an existing 8" waterline previously extended by Rohm & Haas in 1996. The City will incur no cost as a result of this extension. Staff recommends approval of the Utility Extension Agreement as submitted. Action Required by Council: Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City to enter into a Water Service Agreement with Lubrizol Corporation, and authorize the City Manager to execute a Utility Extension Agreement between the City of La Porte and Lubrizol Corporation.
