City Issues Press Release Regarding Water Main Agreement

IRONWOOD, MI - Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - Today, the Superior Chronicle received the following press release from the City of Ironwood:

The City of Ironwood is interested in working with the Gogebic Range Water Authority (GRWA) and Ironwood Township and feels a reasonable agreement is achievable.

In order to continue with the development of an agreement to lease/purchase the new 16 inch water main on Lake Street between Margaret Street and Slade Road a number of items and terms need to be addressed; an example of some of these are:

1. A formal agreement clearly detailing all of the parameters of the agreement will need to be drafted and reviewed by the Gogebic Range Water Authority (GRWA), Ironwood Township and the City of Ironwood.
2. The actual cost of the construction of the 16 inch water main will need to be established before an agreement can be fully considered.
3. Contractor construction costs need to be agreed upon between the GRWA, City of Ironwood and Snow Country Contracting to insure fiscal accountability and to also insure concurrence between all parties that the construction and subsequent purchase price is acceptable to all parties.
