The West Fargo City Commission on Jan. 5 approved a five-year treated-water purchase agreement with Cass Rural Water Users District for service to specified developments.

Matt Anvik, Senior Director of Public Works, said the agreement supplements an existing water-service cooperation arrangement. He described the initial term as five years and said the contract sets a rate of $1.10 per 1,000 gallons above what the city pays Fargo, for the 2026–2029 period. Anvik presented the agreement and answered questions; Commissioner Olsen moved to approve and Commissioner Zundel seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.

The agreement formalizes the terms under which West Fargo will supply treated water to Cass Rural Water Users District for the developments identified in the agreement; staff said they stand ready to answer more detailed technical questions about metering, interconnection and billing if the commission requests further review.
