JOINT STATEMENT
The undersigned, with support of their respective governing bodies, hereby agree in principle to
the following items concerning the joint use of water resources between the County of Roanoke
and the City of Roanoke.
The 1979 contract will be modified by amendment or a new contract, to eliminate
any requirement that the City sell water to the County or that the County purchase
water from the City, retroactive to July 1, 1999. The County's final payment
under the contract will be $1.6 million to be paid during this fiscal year.
The County guarantees that it will sell the City up to four million gallons of water
from the County water system per day, if requested, once transmission capability is
in place. This capacity is expected to be available by September 1, 1999.
The price for any water that is sold to either jurisdiction will be the same--g2,750
per million gallons. This figure will be recalculated annually based on the consumer
price index. The rate formula shall be subject to reevaluation every five years.
The County and City can transport up to three million gallons per day of traded
water through each other's water lines if desired by the other party, subject to
capacity.
Each jurisdiction will have access to the other's surplus water, if needed.
The term of the amended or new contract will extend to June 30, 2019.
Future improvements to the City and/or County water systems will be jointly
shared and funded based on their merits and negotiated benefits.
. ~ near future.
