[Adopted 11-30-1971]
A.
All County areas to be served with sewer and water shall be under
the supervision of the Department of Public Works. This is in keeping
with existing water and sewer legislation.
B.
Where municipal areas have available facilities and are willing to
furnish water and sewer service to the County, it shall be the policy
of the County to permit the Department of Public Works to enter into
an agreement for these services and become a bulk purchaser. The Department
of Public Works is to be responsible for construction, maintenance
and operation of the water and sewer systems outside the municipal
boundaries.
C.
Price agreements for the water and sewer services shall be negotiated
between the parties for a two-year period and then subject to renegotiation
and price adjustment upon justification of such increase or decrease.
D.
The County may commit itself to a future total bulk service contract
with the municipality, if so desired by the supplier, regardless of
any future supply of services being furnished by the Department of
Public Works itself in the contract area.
E.
The County may approve municipal extensions of water and sewer into
the County area when, in its opinion, it is to the best interest of
its citizens.
