City is the exclusive retail water purveyor within substantially all of City's boundaries providing water for residential, industrial, commercial, public agency, agricultural and other uses. City produces and/or distributes water in part purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange County and in part produced from the Orange County groundwater basin, which basin is managed by the Orange County Water District. B. User is a private corporation in the jurisdictional and service boundaries of City, and currently purchases potable water and recycled water from City for its own use at Big Canyon Country Club, located at 1 Big Canyon Drive, Newport Beach, California hereto referenced as ("Site"). C. City has the right to acquire wastewater treated to standards established by the State Health Department ("Recycled Water") from the Orange County Water District. D. User desires to purchase and City desires to sell Recycled Water for allowable, suitable, non -potable uses, specifically landscape irrigation of the Site. AGREEMENT NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the facts recited above and the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows: 1. CITY AND USER FACILITIES City owns, operates and maintains or has a right to use a recycled water system including but not limited to the Pump Station (as hereinafter defined), piping, "swivel ell connection", service meter, backflow preventers, and control valves ("City Facilities"). User owns and maintains the pipelines, warning signs, warning tags and all appurtenances downstream of City's Facilities ("On- Site Facilities"). The City Facilities and On -Site Facilities are depicted the drawings attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference. The point where User's pipeline connects to the downstream end of City's Facilities shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Point of Connection". The Point of Connection is in the Jamboree Road parkway near User's maintenance yard entrance approximately 1,300 feet northerly of San Joaquin Hills Road, is shown on Exhibit "A". City Facilities will be operated and maintained by City for the purpose of distributing Recycled Water and potable water to be purchased from City by User. User shall also own and maintain all devices relating to User's on -site potable water system including, but not limited to, backflow preventers and identification tags. City shall be responsible for all costs associated with maintaining, repairing or replacing the pump station on the Site ("Pump Station") for the purposes of pumping Recycled Water and potable water to the Site. User shall pay for all energy costs associated with the Pump Station. User and City will execute concurrently herewith a separate agreement in which User will grant to City, at no cost to City, a license over, under, and across that portion of the Site proximate to the Pump Station to provide reasonable access to City for the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Pump Station. If the license is terminated, the City, at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement immediately, subject to the provisions of Section 12 below. 2. RULES AND REGULATIONS User agrees that during the term of this Agreement and any extension thereof, User shall comply with all rules and regulations promulgated now and in the future by City with respect to the sale and use of Recycled Water ("Recycled Water Rules"), provided that the City has provided User with a copy of such Recycled Water Rules and shall provide User with any modifications or additions thereto within thirty (30) days of the promulgation of such modifications or additions. In the event that City or any other public agency shall promulgate or implement any rule or regulation that shall cause the total cost to User for the•use of Recycled Water to exceed the total cost to User if it had used potable water instead of Recycled Water, User may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice to City, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 12 below. For purposes hereof, the total cost to User shall include all costs and expenses of any kind or nature directly or indirectly associated with the use of Recycled Water including, without limitation, the rate charged for such use pursuant to this Agreement and the incremental costs incurred to comply with this Agreement. -2- 3. QUANTITY OF WATER TO BE PURCHASED BY USER; INSTANTANEOUS MAXIMUM FLOW City agrees to supply Recycled Water to User and User agrees to purchase Recycled Water from City in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The anticipated average annual Recycled Water usage at the site is two hundred ninety (290) acre-feet. Recycled Water flow demands for the Site's service shall not exceed an instantaneous maximum flow of two thousand two hundred (2,200) gallons per minute. In the event that the current use of the Site discontinues or is modified, City and/or User may terminate this Agreement, as applicable, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 12 below. If at any time during repair, replacement, maintenance or operation of the On -Site Facilities, real or potential hazards or evidence of such hazards are found to exist, City reserves the right and has the authority to take action to insure that the situation be remedied and to protect the public health, as is further set forth in the Recycled Water Rules. Such remedies may include, but shall not be limited to, the right of City to terminate Recycled Water service to Site, subject to the provisions of Section 12 below. 4. QUALITY OF WATER TO BE PURCHASED BY USER; PRESSURE City agrees that all Recycled Water delivered to User from the City Facilities pursuant to this Agreement 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 with respect to User's anticipated use ("Regulatory Agencies"). Furthermore, User desires that the Recycled Water delivered to User pursuant to this Agreement meets the chemical water quality criteria set forth in the attached Exhibit "B". During the term of this Agreement, User may notify City if User becomes aware that the quality of the Recycled Water fails to meet the criteria in Exhibit "B". Upon such notification, City shall, on behalf of User, contact the Orange County Water District in an effort to restore the Recycled Water quality to the criteria specified in Exhibit "B" as quickly as possible. However, User expressly understands and agrees that under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no responsibility to User if the Recycled Water provided fails to meet the water quality criteria specified in Exhibit "B". If the Recycled Water fails to conform to the Regulatory Agencies requirements, City will terminate the flow of Recycled Water to the Site and provide potable water in its place (at a cost to User designated within the City's Municipal Code), and User may terminate this Agreement if such requirements are not met within thirty (30) days, or such other time period as the Parties may agree upon, subject to the provisions of Section 12 below. 3 In addition to the foregoing, City covenants that all Recycled Water delivered to User pursuant to this Agreement will not: (x) emit any offensive odor; (y) cause undesirable change to the environmental makeup of any of the lakes at the Site, including any offensive change to the odor, algae level, color or wildlife composition of such lakes; or (z) cause damage to any turf, trees, plants or other vegetation located on the Site, which damage shall include excessive salt buildup. In the event that User decides, in User's reasonable judgment, that any of the conditions referenced in (x), (y), or (z) above exists, City and User agree to use the following procedure: a. User shall notify City of the problem. b. City shall, within three (3) days of such notification investigate the problem. c. If City agrees that a problem exists, City will attempt to remedy the problem. If City is unable to remedy the problem within thirty (30) days after City receives notice from User, City will terminate the flow of Recycled Water to the Site and provide potable water in its place. d. If City does not agree that a problem exists, City will notify User of the same within three (3) days after City receives notice from User. City and User will meet to discuss the issue within seven (7) days of such notification from City. e. If despite their good faith effort, City and User are still unable to agree whether a problem exists, City and/or User may terminate this Agreement subject to the provisions in Section 12 below. Recycled Water shall be delivered on a continuous basis at a pressure of not less than ninety pounds per square inch (90 psi) for demands at or less than thirteen hundred gallons per minute (1,300 gpm), and not less than eighty pounds per square inch (80 psi) for demands at or in excess of thirteen hundred one gallons per minute (1,301 gpm) to two thousand two hundred gallons per minute (2,200 gpm) at the Point of Connection between the hours of 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. User shall not exert a demand for Recycled Water between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. unless User's staff is present to ensure that the public does not come into contact with Recycled Water. 5. PRICE OF RECYCLED WATER City acknowledges the concerns of User regarding (a) potential need to add or adjust fertilizers and/or water supplements to the Recycled Water in order to maintain high quality fairway turf, and (b) the potential need to use additional amounts of potable water in order to offset the increased amounts of nutrients in the Recycled Water. Pursuant to California Water Code Section 13550 et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time, User is required to use Recycled Water for landscape irrigation purposes if suitable recycled water is available at a reasonable cost to User. -4- Therefore, during the entire term of this Agreement, the price to be paid by User for Recycled Water delivered by City shall not exceed the lower of (a) eighty percent (80%) of the potable water variable rate, as such rates are established by resolution of the City Council and enforced on the date of delivery of Recycled Water, or (b) the lowest rate then offered by City to any purchaser of Recycled Water, whether such rate is determined as a percentage of City's retail rate for potable water or otherwise, or (c) the cost to City to provide and transport Recycled Water to the Site as shall be reasonably analyzed and determined by City from time to time. The retail rates for potable water shall be subject to modification as determined by and within the discretion of the City Council. At least forty-five (45) days prior to the adoption of a resolution establishing the water rates of City and/or modifying the purchase price of Recycled Water, City shall give written notice to User and provide notice as prescribed in City's Municipal Code and State Law, of a public hearing on the resolution and price which shall apply following adoption of said resolution. 6. METERING AND MEASUREMENT OF FLOWS City shall maintain, at its own expense, a control valve or valves and a meter for the purpose of measuring the quantity of Recycled Water delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from City to User at the Point of Connection where such water is delivered to User. City or a designated representative of City shall periodically read the service meter and record usage of Recycled Water onto a schedule. Upon request, City shall make these records available to User. 7. PAYMENT FOR RECYCLED WATER City shall invoice User for the price of the Recycled Water purchased by User as part of City's regular billing cycle. Said invoices shall be paid within nineteen (19) days of the billing date. City retains the right to change billing cycles and due dates as necessary upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to User, so long as such change is consistent with formally adopted City-wide practices and procedures and State law. 8.
