Explanation
§ Under the Interlocal Agreement, Charlotte Water Laboratory Services would provide sample analysis and field services to Union County for its five wastewater treatment plants.
§ A vital part of plant operations includes monitoring water quality during the treatment process and upon discharge to ensure the plants remain in compliance with federal and state regulations.
§ Union County and the City of Charlotte have entered into several Interlocal Agreements in order to facilitate water and sewer delivery to Union and Mecklenburg Counties. Since both entities make use of the same regional resources, strong partnerships facilitate better long term planning and service delivery.
§ The agreement is effective July 1, 2018, and has an initial two-year term with the option to renew for up to five additional one-year terms.
§ Union County will pay the City of Charlotte for services rendered. Annual payments are estimated at $228,297.
§ Charlotte Water customers would not incur additional costs as a result of the agreement.
