IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS, PROPOSED NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL SITE: Mr. Mashburn announced the Iredell
County School Board exercised its option on the property that has been under discussion recently.
This property is in the North Iredell County area. It is estimated by the school officials that a
well and water tank for the school will cost approximately $300,000. The cost of extending water
lines from the existing Iredell Water Corporation line at Union Grove to the North Iredell Middle
School property will be approximately $150,778.
The question arose as to who would provide funding for this project. In the past the only
precedent that has been set has been that of the Mt. Mourne sewer line system, which was paid for by
the school system. The ownership of this line has not been completely resolved at this time.
In 1987 the County entered an agreement with Iredell Water Corporation to run water to North
Iredell High School. This was done under a contractural basis with reimbursement to come from the
Iredell Water Corporation over a twenty-year period at no interest.
No action taken.
