TSUMAS WATER LINE FINANCING PROPOSAL: Mr. Mashburn gave the board additional information
regarding this project. Mr. Mashburn said he and staff members met with Harry Tsumas and Iredell
Water Corporation. Iredell Water Corporation has discussed the takeover of the water service in the
Harry Tsumas Subdivision. The City of Statesville has stated they would be receptive to selling
water for this project at wholesale prices. Mr. Tsumas has indicated a willingness to turn the line
over to the County and reserve a right to recover a pro -rata portion of funds in the event there are
any legal suits for recovery of damages.
The County Manager recommended participation on a 50/50 basis with Tsumas. The line would be
turned over to the County. The County would then lease the line to Iredell Water Corporation until
such time as the County establishes a water department. At that time it would revert back to the
County. Iredell Water Corporation would operate and maintain the line.
Chairman Sloan said the terms of payback should be at least two years.
