He stated last Fall when the County was faced with increasing bulk water rates from some of its suppliers, the Board modified its flat rate structure by going to an increasing rate.. He stated the Particle Board Plant is requesting that the County. modify the current rate of $2.00 . per 1,000 gallons up to 6,000 gallons. He noted that the County is currently paying $2.31 a thousand for the water the County is buying and it is anticipated that this rate will go up July 1, 2002.. He recommended. that should the Board wish to authorize a bulk rate reduction, that it authorize staff to survey some of the adjoining communities first. Chairman Claud- stated what the County was paying in bulk .water rates is the reason the County reviewed its rates.

Supervisor MacManus stated it is significant when looking at water usage to note mass uses of potable water versus non-potable water because potable water. in .the Hampton Roads area is a scarce .commodity, has a greater value and should be have a cost difference.. He stated staff should keep in mind that the. County does have a significant capital cost now. Mr. 'Rountree stated the County's water and sewer systems are a separate enterprise fund and should the Board decide to lessen the industrial - tax burden, staff may have to find another way to do it. 10 .Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board instruct the Public Utilities Director and .the Economic Development Director to review the information and make a recommendation to the Board. The motion was adopted with Supervisors MacManus, Bradby, Bradshaw, Clark and Claud voting in favor of the motion (5-0) and no Supervisors voting against the motion. Mr. Rountree stated. with the sale of International Paper's Particleboard Plant, there will no longer be International Paper's water supply available which they currently have in a 30" ~ main. that carries approximately 40,000,000 gallons per day of water.. He stated currently the County has two (2) means of water available. to serve the .facility, North Lynn Road and Carrsville Highway. He noted that the on-site hydrant is currently not in service due to it being fed by a .Line that goes, under a railroad and that line under the railroad has a significant leak. He stated this line is not .cased and needs repair so that concerns regarding a .lack of fire protection for that facility can be addressed. He stated the estimated cost to complete the repair is $87,000. Supervisor Bradshaw requested the Director of Public Utilities and the. County Administrator continue to move forward on this project. In the meantime, he requested they research alternative funding sources and any monies identified which could be made as a reimbursement to the County. 1 Mr. Rountree stated after Hurricane Floyd the County was awarded a grant of $700,000 by the Community Development Block Grant program for flood reclamation. He stated .staff had hoped to replace the Zuni .water system, but as the project was moving along, it was felt that the bulk of those funds would be needed for housing .rehabilitation 'assistance. He stated there are approximately $419,000 remaining in that project and the. County's engineering consultant estimates it will cost $391,000 to replace the system.. He stated the project is anticipated to be completed in February of 2003.
