Attention: Jerry Bramlett, President
Dear Mr. Bramlett:
C~
City of La Porte
Established 1892
The Agreement between the La Porte Area Water Authority and the City of La Porte
wherein the City of La Porte agreed to operate, maintain, repair, and manage the
Authority's facilities is scheduled to expire on September 30, 1998. There is an option
clause extending the period of the Agreement for an additional three years, if both parties

additional three (3) year period from October 1, 1998 through September 30, 2001. The
cost to the Authority would remain at $40,000 annually as currently in effect. Should the
LaPorte Area Water Authority Board of Directors agree to this extension, please have

We have enjoyed our past relationship with the LaPorte Area Water Authority and look
