Bldg. & Zoning July 13, 1966 ater Commission DES PLAINES, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ~%B~f PROSPECT, PALATINE Report WATE~ C01~ISMION The CommisSiOn was represented by William Nott who gave the following report: The purpose or duty of 'the Co~mission~ is to inwestigate the procurement of a common source of water s~pply for the four member municipalities and, if an economical and practical ~ ~ource~ of- sapply could~be secured, to provide the facilities needed for such a supply. The common water supply plan ulti- mately adopted would provide an adequate amd depmadable .w~ter supply at the lowest ~ossible COst. In considering what is the lowest possible cost, consideration was to be given not only to the present requirements of the conmmnities, but .also te their lon~ term needs. InA accordance with the powers and limitations specified in Chapter 24, Article 81, of the Cities and Villages Act, the Commission, if ne~ supply facilities were constructed, wo~uld be strictly a wholesaler of water ahd ~uld construct and extend its water transmission, mains to designated points of the constituent zamicipAlities. Each of the constituent municipalities would continue to own and operate its distribution system and ~ related w~ter facilities. ~' The method available to the ~ommission'to finance the construction ' of any water supply decided upon would be through the sale of ~Water Revenue Bonds in an amount to cover the estimated project ' costs as provided under the enabling Statutes of the State of Illinois. However, before the Water .Revenue Bonds could be j sold, it would be necessary for the Co~mission to execute con- . ' tracts for the sale of water with ~ach .of the member municipalities and with possible other customers for a period of at least 40 · years'. The Commission has to go to each c~ustituent manicipality for a contribution to the Commission jointly so that they can obtain the money to secure feasibility reports required. An estimated contribution was $1,500e This. would be added to a previous contribution fromm each in the amount of $1,~OO. When 'this report is presented to each town then the Comminsiom requests recommenda- tion on ~hether to pursue or .abandon their proposed plan. Consideration of the above proposal was referred to the P~blic Works Committee.
