The City of Gillette and the South Douglas Highway Water and Sewer District entered into a Sewer Utility Service Agreement in June of 2003, to provide City sanitary sewer service to the District via the City's South Douglas Highway Sanitary Sewer trunk and collector lines. The Sewer Utility Service Agreement ultimately contained four (4) amendments, of which the last was executed in April of 2007.
During the time that has since passed, the City has completed the installation of its trunk and collector lines and the District has completed the installation of its collection system. Amendment No. 4 to the Sewer Utility Service Agreement contained provisions that the City would assume ownership of the portions of the system that have become annexed, have no liens against the improvements, and a request from the District to the City is made for conveyance of annexed portions of the system.
The South Douglas Highway Water and Sewer District has prepared an Agreement to Convey Sewer System to convey portions of their sanitary sewer system to the City of Gillette which are contained within the Southern Industrial Addition, the Southside Addition, Gillette Golf Course Addition, a Portion of Lot 2 of the Edwards Subdivision Addition, and the Ford Annexations. The portions of the sewer system proposed for conveyance are identified in Exhibit A attached. The City has inspected the portions of the system proposed for conveyance to the City and the District has made the requested repairs. The City will accept the identified portions of the system "as is, where is".
The District will also assign easements to the City of Gillette for those portions of the system which are not contained within City Right-of-Ways. The identified portions of the system have not been pledged as collateral for the re-payment of debt associated with the improvements. The agreement also contains provisions for the City to collect a District Fee from six (6) properties as identified in Exhibit C, which have yet to connect to the system and transfer the fee to the District. This provision will expire eight (8) years after execution of the agreement.
The Agreement to Convey Sewer System was approved by the South Douglas Highway Water and Sewer District on September 28, 2016, and is attached for reference.
