An emergency exists which requires the passage of this ordinance on one reading for the reason that federal participation in the Blackhawk regional sewer plant requires the establishment of cost recovery for domestic sewage collection and treatment. Due to the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agency, federal funds will be withheld for such sewer plant until passage of an ordinance establishing such cost recovery. Because timely completion of the Blackhawk plant is of critical importance to the health, safety and convenience of the people of Friendswood, the risk of having federal funds withheld for such project consti- tutes a public urgency which requires passage of this ordinance.
