At issue is which entity will serve Titan Machinery’s location under construction west of Jamestown, and other parcels in that area, within the one mile extra-territory of Jamestown.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the Titan contractor, said the new facility west of Jamestown has had the sprinkler system approved, to meet fire fighting needs, and will connect with Stutsman Rural Water District within the next week, whether the city and SRWD reach a formal agreement, or not.

The city and Stutsman Rural Water District have agreed to allow Titan Machinery to connect to Rural Water at its earliest convenience.

At the meeting, Mayor Andersen said the City of Jamestown is ready to go forward with an agreement, as is Stutsman Rural Water District, and both parties indicating a formal agreement may be forthcoming within the next two weeks.

The  agreement purportedly will modify the proposed contract between the two parties.  If the next draft with the modifications is approved an agreement could be finalized in the next two weeks.
