Their lagoon treatment facilities are at capacity and new residential development cannot be accommodated until improvements are made to the existing facilities. Therefore, the Town of Tieton, Washington has respectfully approached the City of Yakima with a request to dispose of certain limited quantities of its wastewater to the City of Yakima's wastewater system until such time as their treatment systems are upgraded to meet current capacity deficiencies (see attached letter dated January 30, 1995). The quantities discussed in the letter from Mayor Hal Williams are of relatively minor significance to the Yakima system. Allowance of this request will not preclude the City from accommodating its own service obligations. The attached agreement identifies the participating parties, the length of the agreement (4 years), terms of compensation (established by the most recent sewer rate ordinance), point of discharge, liability insurance ($1,000,000), indemnification, pretreatment testing authority, and a written 60 day termination provision. The terms of compensation will follow the language of the Yakima Municipal Code specifically in Sections 7.63, 7.64 and 7.65. A Utility tax of 14% will be applied.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: Resolution No. R-95-43 tieton agreement March 9, 1995 cw P.O. BOX 357 TOWN OF TIETON "TOP OF THE YAKIMA VALLEY" January 30, 1995 Mr. Chris Waarvick Waste Water Superintendent 2220 East Viola Stteet Yakima, WA 98901 Dear Mr. Waarvick: The 'lo. �n of Tieton Waste Water Treatment Plant consists of four lagoons and 3 sprayfield with no other means of discharging effluent. We are at, or even sometimes over capacity which has effectively stopped any development. We are going to apply for Centennial Clean Water Funds for developing a Waste Water System Plan this year, but going through the CCWF cycle will take about six years to complete constriction. Our request to the City of Yakima is to consider the following proposal. We would truck sewage from our treatment plant to your facility as needed. Initially we would need to haul approximately 4,000 (four thousand) gallons per day, increasing up to 40,000 (forty thousand) gallons per day within 7 (seven) years. We would anticipate this program would last for a maximum of 7 (seven) years. The actual atnounts would be dependent on the growth that occurred over this time frame. The following figures are averages for 1994 as reported to DOE. Influent: pH 8.7 BOD mg/1 202 BOD lbs/day 71.2 S/S 219 Effluent: pH 8.7 BOD mg/1 56.4 BOD 27.8 SIS mgt 49.5 I would anticipate we would need to use your facility all year long, possibly the amounts could be a little less during the summer, depending on the loading of .our sprayfield. If it is possible to dump into the west end of your collection system, it would he beneficial to us, but I realize that creates some additional problems. TIETON, WASHINGTON 98947 PHONE 509/673-3162 TOWN OF TIETON "TOP OF THE YAKIMA VALLEY" We will provide proof of necessary liability insurance and obtain any required permits.. I appreciate your consideration of this matter and look forward to your response. Hal Williams Mayor P.O. BOX 357 TIETON, WASHINGTON 98947 PHONE 509/673-3162
