Water System Interconnect Agreement with Lino Lakes Administrator Statz stated that the Cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes previously agreed upon an water system interconnect along 20th avenue and the City of Centerville paid for the infrastructure. He explained that if the system senses a change in pressure flow due to water system problems either with Centerville or Lino Lakes, the systems will open and flow to the appropriate community. He stated that the City of Centerville paid for the first interconnect in belief that we would be utilizing it but in fact the City of Lino has received more water from us than we have from them. Council questioned whether the water that flows through the system is metered and costs/fees associated. Administrator Statz stated that there is no monetary disbursement but water flowage to offset. He stated that the agreements address these fees. Page 4 of 7 8
