Sec. 39-33. Same —Pressure and quality of water purchased by user. Subject to compliance by OCWD, all recycled water delivered to users from Green Acres Project facilities shall conform to the current and future requirements established by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board -Santa Ana Region, state and local health departments, and federal, state and county agencies having jurisdiction to establish minimum standards for the quality of recycled water. Recycled water shall be delivered on a continuous basis at the minimum and maximum pressures set forth in the user's recycled water user agreement. (Ord. No. NS-2921, 5, 8-1-17) Sec. 39-34. Same —Ownership of valves and meters. (a) The city shall own, operate, and maintain the control valves located on each side of the meter and the metering device installed on the service line to the user's property. At locations where recycled water is used exclusively, the city may convert existing service connections (including control valves and meters) from potable to recycled water system connections. The user will own and maintain all facilities on the user's side of the customer control valve. The user shall be held responsible and charged for all water passing through meters at its property. (b) The city reserves the right to determine the size of the recycled water pipeline, the type of pipe, the service connection required, and any and all other appurtenances related to recycled water usage which are located on the property location to which recycled water will be delivered. (Ord. No. NS-2921, 5, 8-1-17) Sec. 39-35. Same —Purchase of water by user. (a) The city will supply recycled water to the user, and the user shall purchase recycled water for the location(s) and purposes and in the estimated amounts set forth in its recycled water user agreement. (b) The user shall commence taking deliveries of recycled water after receiving written notice of availability from the city. To the extent that the user's then -current use of its property necessitates the use of recycled water, the user will continue to purchase recycled water from the city. In the event that the current use of the property is discontinued or is modified, recycled water service may be terminated by mutual agreement in writing by the city and the user. (c) The city reserves the right to control and schedule the use, distribution, and delivery of recycled water if, in its reasonable discretion, control and scheduling are necessary to maintain the recycled water distribution system in acceptable working condition. Scheduling may include, but is not limited to, varying rates of pressure and programming deliveries to the user and/or to portions of the user's property. (d) If at any time during the construction or operation of the Green Acres Project facilities, real or potential hazards, or evidence of a hazard, are found to exist, the city reserves the right and has the authority to terminate recycled water service to the user's property in the interest of protecting the public health. Service shall be reinstated upon abatement of the hazard. If service is terminated pursuant to this section, the city may supply the user with water from its potable water sources or an alternative recycled water system at the then -current recycled water rate for up to thirty (30) days; after thirty (30) days and until such time as the delivery of recycled water is reinstated, the user shall pay the potable water rate if potable water is supplied or the recycled water rate if an alternative source of recycled water is used. (e) In the event the lack of delivery of recycled water is the result of an operational fault of the city, the rate for the water delivered through the system will be equal to the then -current rate for recycled water for a period Created: 2025-01-29 11:22:14 [EST] (Supp. No. 30) Page 23 of 54
