Meeting the conditions set forth by the grant <br /> process and adhering to sound utility management and <br /> environmental protection practices have required that the <br /> County develop a number of contracts or agreements with the <br /> various parties involved in the process. These agreements, <br /> which in effect bind together the County, OWASA and the <br /> Piney Mountain home owners, have incorporated strategies <br /> for financing, constructing, managing, operating, etc. , the <br /> system. Although these agreements have never been signed <br /> or executed by any of the parties concerned, they have <br /> existed in nearly final form since July. <br />
