RE: DWSD Bankruptcy Call Follow-up

See all emails with these participants
Reep in mind from my previous discussions with Preasury and the Director, DIWSD chimped Flint and the GCDC tozether {8% total lass}. Since GCDC was going KWA regardless of Flint, when we talked with Treasury about Hint ouiling out it would have really been only 3-4% revenue loss for PAWSD directly related to Flint, since GCDC was a last cause. GCDC pop. = 153,000 Flint pon. = 102,434 (2046 Census} Total population = 255,434

Date: Monday, August 05, 2013 3:58:36 PM All — | recently spoke with Randall Byrne (Treasury) and agreed to try to help them with a couple of items. (Randy — sorry it’s taken me so long to get this note out). 1. Flint is considering selling the 72-inch pipeline. It was constructed in 1965 for $6.5M. How would you determine fair market price for such an item? | suggested getting quotes from a couple of contractors for what it would cost to install today and figure some kind of depreciation for a 50 year old pipeline. Other ideas? 2. Treasury is looking for contractors that could possibly operate a distribution system. Could you please provide a list of names/companies that are already doing this kind of work around the state? United Water and Earth Tech were the ones that came to mind. There must be others. Thanks much. Liane Liane J.
