APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE ABANDONING A ROAD EASEMENT THROUGH THE
WYLIE CEMETERY : There exists on the records two easements
of public right-of-ways within the Wylie Cemetery . One is
100 feet wide , the other is 24 feet wide . Obviously these
easements will never be used for there is no road with which
they can connect . Further , there is a great probability
that actual cemetery plots have been used that lie within
this road easement . While this idea is clear I would
suggest that we abandon these easements to the Wylie
Cemetery Association and thus remove the potential for
future misunderstanding . Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem
Hughes to approve the ordinance abandoning the above road
easements . Seconded by Councilman Simmons . The vote was as
follows , Mayor Akin - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Hughes - in

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RATE INCREASE TO FUND
FUTURE WATER SUPPLIES
Wylie, Texas
Carl Riehn, Executive Director of North Texas Municipal Water District,
introduced officials from NTMWD that met with the Wylie City Council . They
described the NTMWD plan for obtaining additional raw water to meet the demands
of customer and member cities and the rate increase which has been set in motion
to fund those improvements. The NTMWD Board of Directors recently increased
the water rate by 5G per 1000 gallons for the year 1984-85. It is the first phase
of a 5 year rate increase program which will total 30C per 1000 gallons. The
additional revenue will be used, beginning this year, to fund $105, 000, 000 in
capital improvements necessary to meet the projected needs of the communities
already being served by NTMWD. The improvements include construction of a raw
water pipeline from Lake Texoma and parts of a program to construct two
additional reservoirs.
Currently, NTMWD serves approximately 560, 000 people through customer and
member cities. That demand, of course, varies with the weather conditions. David
Stephens, Manager of the NTMWD Water System, explained that current
projections indicate that the population of current customers and members will
grow to 1,000,000 by the year 2000. In order to meet the projected demand of 157
MGD at that time, NTMWD has studied potential raw water sources and has
adopted a plan for obtaining the most economical supplies. The projections used
by NTMWD are based on the most reliable figures available from the customer and
member cities, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, and the Texas
Department of Water Resources. Stephens emphasized that changes in several of
the variables could change the ultimate need either up or down, however, NTMWD
plans provide for some flexibility in meeting that demand.

NTMWD NEWS RELEASE - Page 2
--The first new supply of raw water will be obtained through a pipeline from Lake
, exoma, partially shared with the Greater Texoma Utility Authority. The Texoma
project will provide NTMWD with an additional 35 MGD in Lake Lavon. That
supply of raw water should be available in Lavon by 1987. Cooper Lake, the long
delayed Corps of Engineers' project, is expected to supply an additional 44 MGD
of raw water beginning in 1991 . In 1995, the New Bonham Reservoir will be
opened and will supply NTMWD with 73 MGD more water.
The 5 year, 30G total rate increase program will fund $105, 000, 000 in
improvements. Of that expense, the NTMWD share of the Texoma project will be
approximately $28 million, and the New Bonham Project will be $52 million. The
additional $25 million in the program is necessary for Water System Improvements
required to pump and transport water to the locations required by the customers
and members. The 5 year increase plan was adopted to minimize, to the extent
possible, the impact of the expenses on the individual cities. Bill Avery,
Administrative Officer for NTMWD, explained the effect of the bond sale on the
NTMWD Revenues and Expenditures and the impact on the average water user. A
typical water customer uses 10, 000 gallons per month and had a city bill of $12.00
for water service in the NTMWD service area. The NTMWD impact on that water
bill, exclusive of any other necessary city increases, would increase that citizen's
bill directly by $3.00 per month to $15.00 by the end of the 5 year program if all
of the increase is passed on to the individual water user. The rate increase to
the cities will be 10C per 1000 gallons in 1985-86, and 5 per 1000 gallons in each
of the subsequent 3 years.
