allocates the donations received to additional funding for books as intended by the Friends of the Prosper Community

Amendment#3
Reason for Amending the Water/Wastewater Fund Appropriations:
In the Water/Wastewater Fund, the Water Department meter purchases budget will be increased by $70,000.
Additional meters are required to keep up with the pace of growth. Current year revenues will cover the additional
costs with Water Taps, Service Initiations, and Other Revenues up significantly over year-to-date expectations.

In the Water/Wastewater Fund,the Water Department contracted services budget will be increased by$40,000. The
Town of Prosper operated six water wells until October 2010, at which time the wells were turned off and the Town
went to a surface water supply from North Texas Municipal Water District. The cost of operating the well system was
nearly twice the cost of surface water and not as reliable.
On February 19, 2013, the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) conducted their four-year inspection.
According to 30 TAC 290.46(u), abandoned public water supply wells owned by the system must be plugged with
cement according to 16 TAC chapter 76 (relating to Water Well Drillers and Water Well Pump Installers). Public
Works is working with the TCEQ staff and together they have chosen to cap the wells. Funding will be covered by
current revenues or net system balances avaialble.
