You have my permission to give this letter to the press if you wish,

Com~an~ re Interconnection of Mains
Per our prior conversations it is our understanding that the'Cook
County Water Corporation agrees to supply the Village of Mount Prospect
with 200,000 gallons of water per day, or more if required by the
Village, subject To the Company's commitments to its customers for
water, and provided the Company is able to supply more than the amount
specified and That the Village agrees To purchase such water as it may
require at the rate of 25¢ per 1000 gallons; said agreement ~o extend
f~om date hereof =o January 1,
It is further understood That The Village will interconnect its lines
with Those of the Company in the near future, but at a lime convenien~
to the Village; that said interconnection will be made in accordance
with Village requirements and specifications; and That the cost of said
interoonnection and any me,ers necessary will be shared equally by the
Village and the Company, but that the Company's half share shall not
exceed $10,000 and shall not be payable prior
understood that in the event the interoonnecTion occurs prior To July
1, 1963 and the Village takes water prior to July 1,
will not be billed for any wa=er used between said date and July
1963. It is understood that the Village's obligation to make the
interconnection referred to above is subject to the bond referendum
referred to in that certain Purchase Agreement dated April 8, 1962
between the parties hereto becoming effective.
It is further understood that both parties will furnish The other
emergency water in the even= of pump failures or like emergency situa-
tions and that The rate for such emergency wate~ shall be 25¢ per 1000

a contemplated agreement between the Village and the Company and that
said sale is in fact consummated~ in such even= The sums for intercon-
nection due the Village by The Company need not be paid since in such

Hoping that the foregoing is also your understanding, we would appre-
ciate your indication of a~proval hereon and this letter will thus
constitute the complete memorandum of agreement between The parties.
