This <br /> agreement is virtually identical to the previous five year agreement with these minor additions, <br /> which are included to make the agreement easier to administer: <br /> • The maximum daily water flow from Decatur to Harristown has been increased from <br /> 120,000 gallons to 150,000. <br /> • The number of days of Decatur water use by Harristown without Decatur City Manager <br /> written consent has been changed from "more than 7 consecutive days, or for the second, <br /> or subsequent, of any 2 or more continuous periods of time of any length within a 6 <br /> month period"to "more than 182 consecutive days per calendar year". <br /> The additions will have no impact on our ability to provide water to our customers. The <br /> agreement was approved by the Village of Harristown on July 25th. The City also has a similar <br /> agreement with the Long Creek Township Water Department. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: <br /> None. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Village of Harristown, City Staff. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> Keith D.
