Council approves waterline agreement with Matt and Caitlin Sorensen
Summary
Mount Pleasant City Council approved a waterline agreement with Matt and Caitlin Sorensen that places maintenance and certain liabilities with the property owners and includes a repayment/obligation tied to the property.
Mount Pleasant City Council approved a waterline agreement for Matt and Caitlin Sorensen that documents the parties— responsibilities for a private waterline connection and ties ongoing obligations to the property.
Councilmembers reviewed the agreement, which the packet describes as the Sorensens— waterline/pioneer agreement following prior approvals for 5- and 10-year pioneer arrangements. The agreement recorded in the packet requires the property owners to maintain the connection and retain responsibility for liability; staff said that obligation remains with the property if the owner moves away, and the agreement allows the city to avoid taking on liability for the private line.
Councilmember Paul moved to approve the Sorensen agreement; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voting in favor. Staff said the agreement will be signed and dated, and the city will record the obligation in its files.
What happens next: the city clerk—s office will finalize signatures and record the agreement per city procedures. Councilmembers noted the agreement language intentionally protected the city from long-term liability for private connections.
