The Greenbelt Water Authority Board of Directors last Thursday unanimously approved a contract with the City of Clarendon for the purchase of groundwater from the city.
Greenbelt General Manager Bobbie Kidd said the contract includes a price of 45 cents per thousand gallons that the authority will pay the city. The price will be renegotiated every three years.
“It’s a pretty simple contract, and it’s written in the city’s favor,” Kidd said. “Our board really didn’t have any problems with it.”
Greenbelt is still waiting on final submission of engineering report on the project to refurbish the city’s old water wells and build a pipeline to the Greenbelt filter plant.
“They’ve got preliminary numbers but are still waiting on some figures from the hydrologist,” he said.
Kidd said the contract now goes back to the city for its final approval. City Administrator Lambert Little said the board of aldermen will have a called meeting next Tuesday, May 29, to consider that.
