In no event,however, shall the District be obligated under this Agreement to deliver to the City more than nine (9) million gallons of potable water in any given day or more than 1.25 billion gallons of potable water in any Fiscal Year. 5. Compensation for Water Delivered. At the end of every Fiscal Year,the City and the District shall perform an accounting to determine the amount of potable water delivered by each parry to the other during such Fiscal Year. It is the intent of the City and the District under this Agreement that, to the extent reasonably practicable,the amount of potable water delivered by each party to the other in any given Fiscal Year will be equal and,therefore,no compensation will be owed by either parry to the other,except for the transmission charge hereinafter provided. If,however,in any Fiscal Year the City or the District is delivered an amount of potable water that is two percent(2%)or greater than the amount delivered to the other party for that Fiscal Year, the party receiving the greater amount shall owe the other party compensation for the difference between the two amounts delivered calculated at the rate of$0.36 per thousand gallons. If such compensation is owed by the City,it shall be the legal obligation of the City Enterprise, and if it is owed by the District it shall be the legal obligation of the District Enterprise. Such compensation shall be paid within sixty(60)days after the end of the Fiscal Year for which the compensation is owed and it shall be paid by the City Enterprise and the District Enterprise solely from the net revenues of their respective water utilities. In the event, however, that in any given Fiscal Year the respective amounts delivered to the City and the District are not equal, but the difference between the two amounts is less than two percent (2%), no 6 compensation shall be owed for that Fiscal Year,but such difference shall be carried over and taken into account in the following Fiscal Year. In addition to the payment of any compensation as may be hereinabove required,the District Enterprise shall pay an annual transmission charge to the City for all potable water delivered by the City to the District at the Southwest Delivery Point and at the Southeast Delivery Point. This transmission charge shall be at the rate of$6,750 per million gallons so delivered by the City to the Southwest Delivery Point on the day of highest peak delivery to the District at such delivery point during the Fiscal Year. The transmission shall be at the rate of$14,750 per million gallons so delivered by the City to the Southeast Delivery Point on the day of highest peak delivery to the District at such delivery point during the Fiscal Year. At the end of each Fiscal Year,the City shall invoice the District Enterprise for the total transmission charges for that Fiscal Year and the District Enterprise shall pay them within thirty(30)days of receipt of the invoice. Transmission charges shall not be owed for any deliveries of potable water to the CityI s Treatment Plant or to the Soldier Canyon Treatment Plant. 6. Water Quality. All potable water delivered to the City by the District and by the District to the City under this Agreement shall meet or exceed all quality standards for potable water that are required by the Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter referred to as "the EPA"), required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (hereinafter referred to as "the CDPHE"),and that are set forth in Exhibit"A"attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter referred to collectively as"the Water Quality Standards"). Responsibility for ensuring that the Water Quality Standards are met for water delivered under this Agreement shall rest upon the party delivering the water up to the point of delivery and upon the party receiving the water after the 7 point of delivery. In the event the EPA or CDPHE imposes a water quality standard on the City or the District that is stricter than the standard required of the other,each party shall be required to meet that stricter standard for all potable water it delivers under this Agreement. In meeting the Water Quality Standards,the City and the District agree to comply with all monitoring,testing and reporting requirements established by the EPA and the CDPHE for potable water and to comply with the minimum monitoring standards set forth in Exhibit"A". In the event the City or the District discovers that any water delivered,being delivered or to be delivered by it under this Agreement does not meet in any respect the Water Quality Standards, it shall immediately notify the other party of the problem by telephone,followed by written notice of the problem. In responding to and remedying any such problem,the party delivering the water shall follow the protocol set out in Exhibit`B"attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Regardless of the foregoing, if at anytime and for any reason the City or the District has a good faith concern about whether the potable water to be delivered or being delivered to it under this Agreement meets all of the Water Quality Standards, it may refuse to accept such water. Such refusal shall not be considered as a breach of or default under this Agreement. The City and the District further agree to notify the other party in writing of any proposed change to their respective water treatment processes before implementing such change if it could affect the quality of potable water delivered under this Agreement. 7. Metering. In order to accurately account for the potable water delivered under this Agreement, metering,recording and telemetry devices shall be installed and maintained at the points of delivery specified in this Agreement. The District shall be responsible for furnishing, installing and maintaining such devices at the Southwest Delivery Point, the Southeast Delivery Point and the 8 Soldier Canyon Treatment Plant. The City shall be responsible for furnishing, installing and maintaining these devices at the City's Treatment Plant. The City and the District agree to share with each other the data from their respective metering devices. 8. Maintenance and Repairs. If the City or the District anticipate that any scheduled maintenance or repair of their respective facilities could significantly interfere with the delivery of potable water under this Agreement,they shall give the other party,if reasonably practicable,at least seven(7)days prior written notice of the scheduled maintenance or repairs. Also,when reasonably practicable,the City and the District shall attempt to schedule such maintenance and repairs during periods of low demand by the other party for potable water under this Agreement.
