Just so everyone is an the same page: Karegnond! Water Authority (KWA} has received a permit to construct an intake structure in Lake Huron from DEQ. if not already started, construction is planned for this fall. trecall some discussion with Genesee County about using the raw water line to also provide water for agricultural purposes and possibly a utility in the area. Staff (Mike Prysby} is meeting with the county Wednesday to discuss big picture technical iterns on the project. We will be sure to remind the county at this meeting that the water withdrawal permit is restricted to drinking water use. When we met with KWA and the city of Flint last spring, Flint had not yet decided whether to join the authority or not. We have not received word that a decision has been made. At one time, it appeared that DWSD would allow the city of Flint to blend DWSD water with Flint River and/or KWA drinking water; however we have heard third-hand that this may not be aeceptable to DWSD. We have not sien anything in writing. liane J, Shekter Srnith, PLE, Chief Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance Michigan Bepartment of Environmental Quality SLI-373-9823
