Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services (“MWS”) to enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of Goodlettsville for the transfer of the Liberty Lane Service Area.
MWS currently provides sewer service within the Liberty Lane Service Area, which comprises 30 properties on Liberty Lane, Gallatin Pike, and Peeples Court. This area abuts Goodlettsville and Madison Utility District provides water service. The sewer revenue generated from this area is minimal and the sewer infrastructure needs improvement. The cost of the improvements outweighs the user fees and revenues generated by the service area.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, MWS will transfer the Liberty Lane Service Area and associated infrastructure to the City of Goodlettsville. Upon acceptance by the City of Goodlettsville, title to all infrastructure will immediately transfer to Goodlettsville. Goodlettsville will have sole responsibility and liability for the service area. Existing MWS customers will become customers of the City of Goodlettsville.
This has been approved by the Planning Commission.
