BACKGROUND:
The owner of the residence at 809 Bronk Road has requested connection to the City of Joliet water system. The property has experienced complete well failure over the past several weeks.

* Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Joliet and the Village of Shorewood.
* Service agreement between the City of Joliet and the property owner.
The property owner will be responsible for all construction costs, connection fees, and permit fees. The agreement further stipulates that the owner would be responsible to disconnect from Joliet and connect to Shorewood's water system if the Village were to extend water mains to this location while the Property is within Shorewood's boundaries in accordance with any Boundary Agreement between the Parties.
