LEGAL NOTICE

Moratorium Motion made August 16, 2010

Motion to be effective immediately: The Commission hereby suspends the current Moratorium for a period of two (2) years until August 16, 2012, subject to the fact that it can be modified by the Commission within those two (2) years. The purpose of this Motion is to orderly and fairly allocate the prescribed capacity in the following manner and amounts: The amount of capacity is 100,000 gallons of residential like sewerage, 50,000 gallons to be reserved for residential use – those residents within the current sewer area; and 50,000 gallons to be reserved for commercial and industrial growth.

To qualify the commercial industrial availability of 50,000 gallons, no one applicant will be allowed to request more than 10,000 gallons of capacity upon approval by the Commission. Residential, commercial, and industrial applicants not within the service area can be reviewed by the Commission.

The Commission has the right to review and modify this Moratorium Motion at anytime. This Motion shall remain in effect until August 16, 2012, or when capacity is reached, if sooner.
