Title
Authorizing an agreement between the City of Madison and the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) allowing MMSD the right of future purchase of a City installed sewer interceptor, defining terms of such a purchase. (1st & 9th ADs)
Body
WHEREAS, the MMSD provides regional sewerage service in central Dane County, Wisconsin, including sanitary sewer interceptor service, and
WHEREAS, the MMSD policy Construction and Use of District Interceptors states in part:
"The District shall construct and operate an interceptor only when such interceptor will serve at least two municipalities, or when, in the judgment of the Commission, to a reasonable engineering probability, an interceptor will serve two municipalities in the reasonably foreseeable future", and
WHEREAS, the City of Madison intends to construct a sanitary sewer interceptor in the Lower Badger Mill Creek drainage basin north of Midtown Road to serve existing and future City of Madison Sewer Utility customers, and
WHEREAS, there are no current plans to provide sanitary sewerage service to the areas in the drainage basin north of Midtown Road outside of the current City of Madison boundary, and
WHEREAS, it would be wise and cost-effective to construct this interceptor with sufficient capacity to serve all areas in the drainage basin north of Midtown Road, including those areas beyond the current City of Madison boundary, and
WHEREAS, it is unlikely that this interceptor will serve more than City of Madison Sewer Utility customers in the foreseeable future, and
WHEREAS, areas in the Town of Middleton, currently served or planned to be served by private sewerage systems, may, at some time in the future, require municipal sanitary sewerage service, and
WHEREAS, such future municipal sanitary sewerage service in the Town of Middleton might be provided through the formation of a town sanitary district or town utility district, and
WHEREAS, such a town sanitary district or town utility district may be annexed to the MMSD,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Madison and the Madison Metropolitan Sewer District (MMSD) enter into an agreement allowing MMSD the right of future purchase of a City installed sewer interceptor, defining terms of such a purchase.
