Cabarrus County and Northeast Volunteer <br />Fire Department (VFD) have had discussions about the placement of an <br />emergency hydrant on that line to permit the NE VFD tanker truck to be <br />filled. Each hydrant would include a digital meter, locking device, back <br />flow device and fencing with a locked gate. If additional property outside <br />existing right -of -way is required the negotiations and cost would be the <br />responsibility of the VFD and County. There would need to be a four -party <br />agreement between Concord, Kannapolis, Cabarrus County and <br />Northeast VFD. The water can be used for firefighting and training <br />purposes only and billing would be based on an out of city rate. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Provide direction to staff regarding the placement of emergency fire <br />hydrants; and authorize the County Manager to complete all necessary <br />agreements, subject to review and /or revision by the County Attorney. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />5 Minutes <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />G -4 Page 164 <br />
