PREAMBLE . On play 29, 19701 the Texas Water Quality Board, at the request [?racier. the terms of the contract between the City of Shoreacres anti Bayshore Municipal Utility District, expiration of the ~ctreement can be achieved by the submission of written notice by ~n~~ 1~ar.ty to the other requesting that the agreement be termi- nated. Two years after this notice,'the contract, by its t.erms,, .would become null and void. In May, 1973, the City's notice of i:er-ii~i.nation matured. The City had felt that a long-term agree- ment. would be needed with the District whereby provision would be made for capital expenditures needed to upgrade the City's Facility so that it could conform to the Board's directive for w7st~ discharges into the Clear Lake Watershed. The City and the District have, to date, been unable to reach such an agree- ment, although since May 1973, both entities. have been con- tiracting vn a monthyto~-month basis-~ for sewage treatment service. ' ~ ' •~ of tl~e Bayshore Municipal Utility District, cancelled Permit No. 10523. This document authorized the District to discharge treated domestic sewage effluent from two sewage stabilization ponris, The District sought this cancellation as it no longer tr~r.ated its own sewage. }3y contract, the District receives sewage treatment service from tl~e neighboring City of Shoreacres. 1~ ~~ I I :~ .~ I • Tl~e Board has stated that the month-to-month contracting for sewage treatment may well represent in this case a threat to make an unauthorized discharge into or adjacent to the water in the State. In order to establish a more permanent base for sewage treatment service, the Board, at the volition of both the City and the District, directed that on March 22, 1974 a public hearing be held to consider whether or not it should define an area to include Shoreacres and its extraterritorial jurisdiction and the Bayshore Municipal Utility District as one in which it is necessary and desirable to order that a regional system be installed and operated to serve the waste collection, treatment and disposal needs of the citizens in tihe defied area. Tt was also considered at the hearing whether the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority or some other entity should provide such a system. w1itREA5, the Board finds that the City of Shoreacres and the Bayshore Municipal Utility District must upgrade their domes- tic waste discharge as soon as possible to comply with the provisions of Board Order No. 74-0122-2 which sets standards for domestic waste discharges in the Clear Lake Watershed; and cviiritl~AS, the implementation of a regional or area-wide system of waste treatment, collection and disposal for the 5horeacres~ Tt~~~-shore Municipal Utility ,District area is both necessary and desirable to prevent pollution and to maintain and enhance the quality of water in the Clear Lake Watershed; and tv(it;tt1,115, the City of Shoreacres and the Bayshore Municipal tlti.lity District have requested that the Gulf Coast Waste Disc t.~osal Authority be designated by the Board as the entity to provide a regional system; and tv111:121;n5, the Gulf Coast Waste disposal Authority,. a conservation attri .r.eclamation district created for and skilled in the proper c~ll.ecti.on~ treatment and disposal of waste, is both capable and toi.ll.ing to provide in the reasonably forseeable future a re- gional waste collection, treatment and disposal system to serve the sewage treatment needs of the citizens in the 5horeacres- Bayshore Municipal Utility District area under the terms of me.tas Water Quality Board Order No. 74-0122-2; now therefore, b5 rT ORDERED BY THE TEXAS WATER QUALITY BOARD; 1. That the area Within the City of Shoreacres, its - 2 - ~~ • • • extraterritorial jurisdiction, and the IIayshore Municipal Utility District be defined as one in which it is necessary ' for the health, safety and welfare of the people in the area to order that a regional system of waste collection, ' treatment and disposal be implemented to serve the needs of the citizens in the area by preventing pollution and maintaining and enhancing the quality of water in the Clear Lake Watershed. ~i That, the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority be designated as the entity to provide the above-ordered regional system. 3~ That, all domestic waste discharge permits currently in effect for the discharge of waste in the defined area be transferred to and held in the name of the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority. 4a That, subject to Texas Water Code 21.204 all applications for domestic waste discharge permits after the date of this. order fob the discharge of waste in the defined area be in the name of the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority. 5~ .'t'hat, the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority submit whatever binding agreements it may enter into with the entities in the defined area for the providing of regional waste collection, treatment and disposal services, to the executive Director of the Texas Water Quality Board for approval. 6~ That, the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority report to the board at its regular meeting in October, 1974, concern ing the activities undertaken pursuant to this order. y~ 'T'hat, the Executive Director of the .Texas Water' Quality Board distribute this order to all parties Who in hi.s judgment may be affected by it.

A. Thomas and City Commission City of La Porte Post Office Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 CONDITION OF WATER SUPPLY The City of La Porte's water supply is derived from four wells. Three of the wells are producing from the "Alta Loma" Sands and one is producing from the Lissie Formations. The quality of water obtained from all we17s is good and is expected to remain so for many years. From the attached technical data you will notice that the "expected life" of the wells producing from the Alta Loma Sands is limited due to the anticipated continuing lowering of the static water level. The probable eventual water supply will be surface water, however, the time-table of availability of surface water is still indefinite. Our recommendation is that the City have constructed a new well to produce from the Lissie Formations. Due to delayed delivery of materials and equipment, it will take approximately one year to get a water plant in production after bids are taken. ~ , .. ... ~,~..,~,.~., ~ _._ ....,,~_.r.~ .. ..,..,,r..r ...~. • • • i~aye two - Report, City of La Ports - ..u,~~. ~,~., ~+ ~~+~~er supply 7-!~-%4 • Estimated costs for a new water plant and connecting main are as follows: ' 1 -- 1,200 GPM well developed in the Lissie Formations $125,000.00 1 -- 420,000 Gallon Ground Storage lank and Booster Pumps $125,000.00 Connecting Water Main * 75,000.00 Plus 10~ Contingencies 32,500.00 Estimated cost of improvements if bids taken this summer $357,500.00 *Will vary according to site selected.
