Dear Mr. Enns:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that effective

the operation and maintenance of the Rosedale. District Project,
including the Ros~dale Channel, District spreading ponds and

The Department of Water is willing to 6ssign City personnel

in the training of Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District
personnel. The same rate schedule for service 'that is now in
effect would apply through February 1, 1980. This should provide
