Commission approves wholesale water contract with Butler Rural Water District 1
Summary
The City Commission voted to approve a wholesale water agreement with Butler Rural Water District 1 that sets an average maximum purchase of 87,422 gallons per day (no more than 32,000,000 gallons per year) and updates contract language to express allocations in gallons per day.
The El Dorado City Commission approved a resolution authorizing a wholesale water contract between the City of El Dorado, Kansas, and Butler Rural Water District 1.
City staff said the primary substantive change in the updated agreement is how water allocations are expressed: the contract now states thresholds in gallons per day rather than accounts per year. The utilities director explained the change aligns contract language with how the department plans and measures drinking water demand and future expansion triggers.
Under the agreement presented to the commission, Butler Rural Water District 1 agrees to purchase an average maximum of 87,422 gallons per day, not to exceed 32,000,000 gallons per year. The staff presentation characterized Butler Rural Water District 1 as one of the smaller wholesale customers served by the city.
A resolution to approve the contract was moved and seconded, and the commission voted in favor. The motion carried.
