Dear Mr. Nuse:
Via CM / RRR
# 7001 0320 0001 1852 4503
I am writing as a follow-up to the Technical Review Committee meeting on December 9, 2008, in
regard to flow charges for fiscal year 2009 for the regional and subregional customers of the Brushy
Creek Regional Wastewater System.
At the meeting the regional customers approved revisions to the flow charges for fiscal year 2009 as
shown in the attached Summary of Billable Flows and Flow Charges (Summary). Pursuant to section
5.02 of the Wastewater Disposal Contract, please confirm your agreement for the flow charges shown
in the attached Summary by signing a copy of this letter in the space provided below and returning it
to Monica Masters at: LCRA Water Services, P.O. Box 220 — H220, Austin, Texas 78767-0220. After
receipt of your confirmation, LCRA staff will seek approval for these flow charges from the LCRA
Board of Directors at its meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 2009.
I also want to extend my appreciation for our discussion regarding proposals for metering the
wastewater system or alternative methodologies for allocating flow charges for the system. While we
have not reached resolution on these issues, I hope continued discussions will soon resolve these
issues. In support of that, please send me information regarding the number of LUEs served by your
respective wastewater system as of January 1, 2009. The Technical Review Committee will meet
again on February 10, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. at the Brushy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
Administration Building in Round Rock to review these LUE numbers and continue our discussions.
Thanks again, and best wishes for the holidays.
Sincerely yours,

this approval letter by all of the regional and sub -regional customers, the LCRA will seek
approval by its Board of Directors on January 21, 2009.
