that all water rights obtained by Superior pursuant to the Water Rights Dedication Ordinance be turned over to Louisville; and 8) Superior has also deleted the language requiring that the only water supplied within tYie corporate limits of Superior must come from Louisville. Ms. Belston stated. that it is her understanding that Louisville's ;proposed Howard Berry Water Treatment Plant will not be on-line until 1991. It has been made clear that Superior will have to wait until 1991. when the new water plant is built. It has been Superior's understanding that all Superior has t:o do is attach to an 18" line stubbed in at Dillon and McCaslin, run a trans- mission line under the highway and install a dis- tribution system in order for Superior to be supplied with water according to the 1982 Water Agreement. It was even suggested that Superior apply for a grant this year that would enable this process to take place. Now, it appears that they will have to wait at least until 1991 to hook up to Louisville's s~-stem. Ms. Belston said, "...what you see before you is the optimal type of agreement that Superior would like to see. Of course we are trying to make sure that the people of Superior are best served. I believe that Louisville would also do the same for its people. We are willing to compromise on some of these items." "If none of these changes are agreeable, does our 1982 Agreement as written and signed still stand., and if it does still stand, in what year would bey the earli6st opportunity that the Town of Superior would be able to hook up to the Louisville system." Dave Stahl, representing Homart Development, 400 So. McCaslin, asked to speak regarding this request. Mr. Stahl stated that Homart has a concern that prior to Louisville approving any additional commitments for utility service outside the existing City limits, it would seem appropriate that the water distribution study that was done in 1979, updated in 1985, be updated again. With all the additional commitments in the City of Louisville since that latest update, i.e., the health care park, the Biella-Menkick property, etc., and also the fact that the infrastructure is in place in the southwest part of the City, it would seem appropriate to conduct some studies incorporating these additional commitments prior to negotiating any additional commitments outside Louisville's corporate limits. 6
