Service Area, Seth Ward Water Corporation has requested the service area be extended to two blocks East on Lancaster or, include homes on East side of Wood Street. Council was of the consensus to not extend the service area any further than the Contract has stated. Inspection, Seth Ward Water Corporation has requested that the City 2 of 3 078 of Plainview shall only have the right to inspect water wells on the customers premises where there is reasonable grounds to suspect cross connections or contamination, and there shall be a representative of the Seth Ward Water Corporation accompanying the City of Plainview employee inspecting such well. Also Seth Ward Water Supply Corporation has requested that in the event the Corporation fails to correct a problem of cross connection or contamination within ten days, or if Corporation fails to disconnect service to the offending customer, then the City of Plainview would reserve the right to suspend its obligation under this Contract. Council was of the consensus that the City of Plainview should reserve the right to inspect any customers well at any time, with a representative of the Seth Ward Water Supply Corporation accompanying the inspector and if Corporation fails to correct a problem with cross connection or contamination within ten days then the City reserves the right to suspend the Contract. Method of rate determination, Corporation has concerns that they would be assessed total costs of system study and they feel they should only be charged a pro-rata costs of such study. Council was of the consensus that Seth Ward Water Supply Corporation should only be required to share in a pro-rata costs of the water system study. Monthly reports, Corporation has requested that the reports be changed to quarterly and instead of the report being based on the water metered be changed to the amount of water the system metered. Council was of the consensus to request reports on a Monthly basis and the reports be based on the amount of water metered. Duration, Termination, Corporation feels, the failure to make timely payments or comply with Federal, State or Municipal Law or with any of the provisions of the Contract are ambiguous, or conflict, or superfluous. Council was of the consensus that the notice provision of sixty days was adequate, and provisions should be much shorter when due to cross connection or contamination. Penalties, Corporation has requested the opportunity to know of such violation and be given sixty days before penalty is assessed. Council was of the consensus if Corporation violates any of the provisions stated that the penalty of 1,000 should be assessed. Compliance with City Laws, Corporation request that they be allowed to enforce comparable provisions of the Code, Ordinances and Resolutions of the City of Plainview as such pertains to water supplied under this Contract. Council was of the consensus that what the Corporation was requesting and the wording of the Contract was one in the same. Maintain facilities, Corporation has requested that they shall be responsible for properly measuring the quantity of water delivered at the delivery point. Council was of the consensus that the Corporation shall be responsible for properly measuring the quantity of water delivered under this Contract.
