Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen says the city’s latest proposal to Stutsman Rural Water District was rejected.

On Monday’s (Mar 4, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Andersen said, the city thought that their latest counter proposal was in line with requests made by SRWD.

She said, the Rural Water District’s last proposal included a newly proposed royalty figure, and outlined only certain areas the city could serve with water, in rural areas.

She pointed out the last proposal contained language that according to the Mayor appears to mean that Rural Water District water costs will be about 312% more than the cost of city water.

The Mayor said, before the city responds to the latest SRWD proposal, city officials will meet with attorneys, and that no joint meeting between the City and Stutsman Rural Water District has been set.
