service to the Carolina CAT facility to be located at I-40 and the Stamey Farm Road,

indicated that seven hydrants were being budgeted for the West Iredell Volunteer Fire
District for 2004-05. Mashburn continued by saying James Holler, the West Iredell
Water Corporation President, had indicated his organization would pay the upfront cost
of the hydrants and allow the county to make reimbursement in the next fiscal year.
