Council approves fifth amendment to Sardis water agreement clarifying peaking and extending term
Summary
Council approved a contract amendment with Sardis (treated-water delivery) that adjusts peaking-factor formulas and extends the contract term to 2045; staff said the change aligns Sardis's peak-day planning with other wholesale contracts.
Staff described a fifth amendment to the city's 2015 treated-water sale-and-delivery agreement with Sardis, explaining how peaking factors are calculated relative to annual average day volumes and the contract cap. The amendment would adjust peaking factors (moving toward a 1.5 peaking factor used in other contracts) and extend the contract term to 2045 to provide longer-term planning clarity.
Council members asked for clarification on what constitutes a peak day and how many peak days Sardis could have; staff replied that peak days can occur as needed but the annual average limits the long-term volumes and that Sardis would need additional raw water if average volumes rise. The council voted to approve the amendment 7–0.
