St. Cloud Times
- 7/15
Final
agreement on the sale of drinking water from St. Cloud to St.
Augusta for the next 10 years is near.
St. Cloud City Council members agreed Monday to provide 250,000
gallons a day on average to its neighbor to the south. Maximum
daily water usage cannot exceed 625,000 gallons.
The
rate per 100 gallons is 35 cents next year, increasing to 48 cents
by 2013. At maximum capacity, the water would cost St. Augusta
$87,500 next year.
The
St. Augusta City Council is expected to vote on the agreement
tonight. Construction of a planned sewer and water system in St.
Augusta has been estimated at $1.7 million. The two cities earlier
this year agreed on the sale of 100,000 gallons a day of sewer
capacity for $18,750 a year.
