Mr. Flave Carpenter and Dave <br /> Ingram with Entergy addressed the council with the request. Their current <br /> Entergy offices are located just off St. Louis Street and are outdated. They have <br /> purchased land on General Street across from the old GDX building to build a <br /> new facility and they need water and sewer connections. Mr. Johnson said <br /> Entergy will have to install several feet of sewer line extension and will be paying <br /> for that expense. There is a water line on the street for them to connect to. Mr. <br /> Carpenter and Mr. Ingram said they would like to be annexed into the City and <br /> will whenever they are contiguous and allowed to do so. Councilmember Bryant <br /> moved to approve the water and sewer connections and Councilmember <br /> Matthews seconded. All voted for. <br />
