SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve a Mutual Use Agreement with Tampa Bay Water for the installation of natural gas distribution mains and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
Clearwater Gas System (CGS) is installing a 6-in. natural gas distribution main along Bexley Village Drive in Pasco County, just north of State Road 54. This main extension will serve the new Bexley Ranch neighborhood currently under construction. CGS will be crossing the Tampa Bay Water (TBW) transmission line easement that runs parallel with the Tower Rd right-of-way.
To cross this easement, CGS will have to enter into a Mutual Use Agreement (MUA) with TBW. This agreement will allow CGS to connect CGS’ main to its current distribution system within Bexley Ranch. CGS has previously crossed TBW at Ballantrae Blvd and Tower Rd. This new crossing at Bexley Village Drive is being constructed to provide looping of the CGS system, which will enhance system reliability.
