Explanation
§ Under this Interlocal Agreement, Mecklenburg County will provide monitoring and analysis services at Mountain Island Lake (adjacent to Council District 2) and Lake Norman (located in the northwest part of Mecklenburg County), which are the water sources for Charlotte Water.
§ These services consist of surface water analytical, sediment, and real-time monitoring, which will provide data that can be used to ensure the protection of human and ecological health.
§ In 2012, the City and the County entered into an Agreement for the County to collect and analyze water samples monthly from Charlotte Water’s source water.
§ This Agreement will continue an important partnership between the City and County, which facilitates better long-term planning and service delivery, since both entities make use of these same regional resources.
§ Price adjustments may be reviewed and negotiated annually.
§ Estimated Agreement expenditures are $150,000 annually.
