Title
A resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to the Lower East Fork Wastewater Interceptor System (LEFIS) Contract with the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD).
Body
The City of Crandall has requested that the City of Mesquite provide wholesale wastewater services in the amount of 500,000 gallons a day to supplement its current municipal wastewater system. The Mesquite City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of Crandall to provide this service on April 01, 2024, contingent on both Seagoville and the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) approving the necessary amendment to the Lower East Fork Wastewater Interceptor System (LEFIS) contract, and to also reimburse the City of Mesquite for required upgrades to the LEFIS system. The next step in providing the service to the Crandall is to amend the LEFIS contract with NTMWD to allow Mesquite to accept the 500,000 gallons per day from Crandall into the system.
The Cities of Mesquite and Seagoville contracted with the NTMWD in 2005 for the construction of the LEFIS to provide wastewater transportation and treatment for developing areas in western Kaufman County and within the City of Seagoville. The 2005 contract with NTMWD allows wastewater flows from the City of Mesquite up to an average of 7,430,000 gallons per day from an area in western Kaufman County that includes the Heartland, Polo Ridge, and Talia Developments. The City of Mesquite has the necessary reserve capacity in the LEFIS to provide Crandall with the requested additional daily wastewater flows. This LEFIS amendment makes provisions for those wastewater flows from the City of Crandall to be discharged into the LEFIS system. This amendment is being presented to both the Seagoville and Mesquite City Councils, and the NTMWD Board of Directors for consideration.
