Fayetteville Council to Renew Water Service Agreement with City of Johnson

The Water and Sewer Committee of Fayetteville City convened on July 8, 2025, to discuss key issues regarding water service agreements and operational updates. The meeting began with introductions from committee members, including city council members from various wards and representatives from the finance and utilities departments.

A significant agenda item was the renewal of the water service agreement with the city of Johnson, presented by city attorney Kit Williams. This agreement, which has been in place for 15 years, covers a portion of Johnson's water supply and some sewer services, as well as undeveloped land within Fayetteville's service boundary. The committee noted that the existing agreement is set to expire soon, prompting the need for renewal.

The discussion confirmed that the renewal would maintain the current terms without any changes. The committee expressed a desire to prepare both the water and sewer renewal agreements for presentation at the upcoming city council meeting scheduled for August 5, 2025. A motion was made to proceed with this timeline, which received unanimous support from the committee members.

In conclusion, the meeting effectively addressed the renewal of the water service agreement, ensuring that the necessary preparations are in place for the city council's review next month. The committee's proactive approach aims to maintain seamless water and sewer services for the residents of Johnson and Fayetteville.
