Title
Substitute resolution relative to an agreement permitting the Village of Brown Deer to provide water service to a property located in the City of Mequon.
... Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Water Works to enter into an agreement permitting the Village of Brown Deer to supply water to a property in Mequon which could not practicably be served by the Milwaukee Water Works.
Body
Whereas, Eric Hill, owner of a residence located at 4448 West County Line Road in the City of Mequon, has requested the Village of Brown Deer to furnish water at retail to said property through the distribution system of the Brown Deer Water Public Utility; and
Whereas, The Village of Brown Deer, by its Resolution No. 00-33, adopted on November 6, 2000, has given permission for the proposed water service to Mr. Hill; and
Whereas, The City of Mequon has scheduled their approval on December 13, 2000; and
Whereas, The Village of Brown Deer, being a wholesale water customer of the Milwaukee Water Works, is restricted by a water service contract with the City of Milwaukee from reselling water outside its village limits without the permission of the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, The Milwaukee Water Works stands to gain revenue at wholesale rates by the Village of Brown Deer's addition of this customer which could not practicably be served directly; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the city of Milwaukee, that the Superintendent of the Milwaukee Water Works, the Commissioner of Public Works, and the Assistant City Attorney are hereby authorized to enter into an agreement, which agreement shall provide that:
1) The Village of Brown Deer, by this action, does not hold itself out to provide water service to any other customers beyond its contract boundaries; and, that
2) Should the Milwaukee Water Works ever serve Mequon directly, it may require the above customer to disconnect from the Brown Deer water system and reconnect to the Milwaukee-Mequon water system; and that
3) A change in ownership or business status which could result in a substantial increase in water consumption may require a re-negotiation of the proposed agreement; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Milwaukee Water Works shall file the agreement with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin.
