COMMITTEE ON ENGINEERING
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Request for authority to set initial price for the sale of effluent water produced by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (Deferred from the August 3, 2017 Board Meeting)
Body
Dear Sir:
As part of the District's statutorily authorized resource recovery initiatives, interest has been expressed in the purchase of effluent produced at our facilities. It is our desire to begin selling this product from our facilities this summer at an initial price of $1 per thousand gallons and adjust the price as warranted by market conditions. Potential customers will be responsible for obtaining any required regulatory approval for the specific proposed use prior to purchasing the effluent water.
Authority is being sought from the Board of Commissioners to establish the introductory price of $1 per thousand gallons and for flexibility to adjust the price based on market conditions. If a price adjustment is warranted, the Board of Commissioners will be notified in a timely manner.
Requested, Marcella V. Landis, Acting Director of Engineering, WSS:KMF
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Engineering
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 31, 2017
