Gentlemen,
Please find attached DWSD's proposals for Water Service to Flint. Two proposals are offerred based on the needs and
interests of the City of Flint. Hard copies are in the mail.
There remain some unknowns on the timing of various factors affecting the relationship between Flint and Genessee so
while the rate proposals are firm, the illustrations remain subject to negotiations.
We are pleased to advance either proposal through further negotiation to a contract.
Happy Holidays!
Best regards,
Sue

Dear Mr. Kurtz:
RE: Water Service Proposals to the City of Flint
Thank you for the conversations over the most recent months that have allowed the Detrort
Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) to understand and appreciate the needs and concerns
of the City of Flint as you approach your decision regarding the future water supply for the City.
I am pleased to offer two (2) alternative proposals for continued service with DWSD.
I hope that our conversations have demonstrated that DWSD is an organization that has been
undergoing substantial change since the new Board of Commissioners was seated in April of
2011, and new authority granted them since. We continue to evolve on the path of operational
and financial independence, and that movement has positioned us to be more responsive to our
customers and demonstrate our ability to be more effective and efficient.
While we acknowledge and appreciate the past, we are positive that our present and future are,
and will be decidedly different, and that our customers and customer communities alike have
begun to appreciate that over the past year.
Please review the proposals attached. We remain prepared to evolve the proposals based on the
City of Flint’s specific requirements, and take the City of Flint’s requirements to a final contract
on a expedited timeline.
Best regards,
Sue F. McCormick
Director
