Agenda Item No. 2, Executive Session. There was no Executive Session held.
Agenda Item No. 3, Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Philadelphia
Suburban to provide retail water sales to Indian Creek and Lakewood Ridge. On August 22,
2003, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) considered a request by the
Lakewood Ridge and the Indian Creek Estates residents to provide water service to those
subdivisions by an emergency order under Chapter 13.041 (d)(2) of the Texas Water Code. The
emergency order was considered to those subdivisions by the Commission due to lack of
adequate supply of water. The Commission denied the request for an emergency order for water
service by Southlake because of concern that this case may set precedence and encourage a flood
of complaints from unhappy customers throughout the state of Texas.
The TCEQ staff facilitated negotiations between Southlake and AquaSource during a six hour
meeting until an agreement was signed on behalf of the City Manager. The agreement in short
incorporates the following items: Southlake will provide temporary, retail service to Lakewood
Ridge and the Indian Creek Estates subdivisions until January 31, 2004; service will be provided
through AquaSource’s distribution pipe lines; Southlake will pay AquaSource a rental fee of
$459 per month for use of distribution system; AquaSource will maintain the distribution system
and will not bill residents; and AquaSource will pay for maximum day and maximum hour
peaking charges exceeding the highest recorded amount in 2002-2003.
Motion was made to approve a contract with AquaSource, Texas, to provide retail water sales to
Indian Creek and Lakewood Ridge dated August 22, 2003.
Motion: Standerfer
Second: Shankland
