"'"�;, August 7, 2007 Mr. Barry Loveless Kitsap County Public Works 614 Division Street, MS-26 Port Orchard,WA 98366 Re: Interlocal Agreement KC 111-93—Removal of Sanitary Sewer Meters Dear Barry: The City of Bremerton requests this letter serve as evidence of an understanding between our agencies with regard to the removal of two sanitary sewer meters located in the Kitsap County Sewer District#1 system. In accordance with the existing Interlocal Agreement, sewer fees for the system are based on a wholesale rate and accompanying flow rate. If average flow exceeds .4 mgd per day, rate adjustment provisions are applied for the additional flow. The City wishes to remove these meters for the following reasons: • In over 2 years, average flow has not exceeded the base flow rate. As such, the City is currently expending funds to calibrate the meters yearly, plus crew time to read the meters, maintain, and service them. The benefit here to the County is that the utility billing will remain the same, any flows exceeding the wholesale rate will not be metered or billed. • As you are aware, the City has been negotiating with the County to take over responsibilities for this system. Upon transfer, the meters will no longer be needed. Transfer of the system should be within the year. As the City and County currently have our joint project, the SR 304 T.l.P.; Navy Yard Highway Phase, working adjacent to the meter at 1550 Charleston Beach Road tiis would be-an-opportune time to remove the meter and vault now. Removal of the meters would be done at no expense to the County. If you agree to their removal, please sign and return the letter. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Gunnar Fridriksson at 360.473.2354.
