TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 1981 - temporary alternate. All costs related directly to such temporary arrangements should be borne by the City. including those for operating and maintaining the portable pump. - 2. To furnish 1.8MGD of water to the City of Martinsville on a permanent basis will require certain modifications and additions to the Marrowbone Creek filtration plant and raw water supply facilities. Some of these include such items as back-up pumps, settling tubes in the clarifiers, weir troughs, and flocculators, all of which should be designed, constructed, owned and operated by the Public Service Authority. The present estimated cost of these improvements is $70,000.00, including contingencies and engineering. All financing should be provided by the City of Martinsville in view of the fact that it is the City that is desirous of obtaining water from the County of Henry and because these improvements will be necessary in order to accommodate the City. Approximately two to three months will be required for the design and construction of these permanent improvements and to secure necessary permits from the regulatory agencies. 3. With completion of the above-mentioned improvements and execution of service agreements, the City of Martinsville could be assured of a supply of 0.8MGD of potable water from the Marrowbone Creek facilities. With full cooperation of all parties, the County/PSA should endeavor to provide an additional 1.0MGD with the proposed improvements. 4. No adverse effects on the pressures to the City's industrial park in the (Route) South 220 area are expected with the proper design and operation of the existing and proposed improvements. The (Route) South 220 system was originally designed to work com- patibly and in concert with the City's industrial park facilities. 5. The form of agreement between the County/PSA.-and the City of Martinsville need only be simple and in keeping with the adopted policies of the Public Service Authority and its normal service agreements. The contract should be sufficiently flexible to permit its meshing with the regional water service contract between the City and County/PSA which is now being negotiated. 6. As to the cost per 1,000 gallons to the City, it is suggested that, pursuant to the adopted policies of the Public Service Authority, relating to normal service agreements, a minimum monthly consumption be specified during the period of time the City uses the County's water. Since the PSA must increase its staff during this period and must obligate itself to additional costs of operation in order to accommodate the City, a minimum time, minimum usage and minimum charge should be established. Accordingly, based upon financial data obtained from the PSA staff, we recommend that they be six months, 800,000 GPD and at $20,930.00 per month, respectively. All water consumed over the
