Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to the Wholesale Water Service Agreement with the City of Georgetown.
Body
The City of Round Rock owns capacity in the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) treatment and delivery system that receives raw water from Lake Travis. Because Round Rock has extra capacity available with BCRUA, in March 2020, the Cities of Round Rock and Georgetown entered into a Wholesale Water Service Agreement to provide up to 3.0 million gallons per day of treated water to Georgetown at County Road 175 and New Hope Road. This agreement benefits both Cities in that it provides treated water to Georgetown to help with their water demands, and it helps Round Rock off-set capital debt on the BCRUA infrastructure as well as reserve water costs from Lower Colorado River Authority.Because Georgetown has been unable to complete the construction of a necessary waterline by June 2022 in order for them to take this water, the Cities now wish to amend the Water Services Agreement to delay the date when the City of Georgetown may start taking water from the County Road 175 Point of Delivery. Georgetown’s right to take water from this Point of Delivery and the monthly base charge of $43,530 is being amended from June 1, 2022 to a start date of June 1, 2024. The expiration date of this agreement remains unchanged.
