such conditions as are provided as follows:
6-1.1. Quality and Treatment
Nonpotable water is of similar quality as supplied to CITY of Lubbock
for irrigation purposes. Nonpotable water does not receive treatment
and, therefore, no guarantees concerning the quality thereof are made or
implied. Nonpotable water shall be received by NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER on an AS IS basis. CITY may furnish such supply out of various
ground water wells at its sole discretion.
6-1.2. Quantity
Quantities of nonpotable water shall be delivered as available from
CITY'S system. The availability of nonpotable water shall be determined
solely by the CITY. No guarantees of quantity, availability, or
delivery times and dates are made or implied. All nonpotable water

by CITY at all times. CITY shall install a metering station at the
point of delivery and at its option may include in such metering station
the following devices: (1) control the rate of flow; (2) measure the
instantaneous flow of gallons per day; (3) measure peak hourly flow
during the day of maximum flow in gallons per day; (4) measure the
cumulative volume of water taken; and (5) control changes in the rate of
flow, said devices being operable by CITY at the metering station and
remotely from within CITY. Deliveries shall be contingent upon
completion of facilities necessary or convenient to deliver the water
from CITY'S existing facilities to the point of delivery. NONPOTABLE
WATER CUSTOMER not contiguous to City's existing facilities may be
required to reimburse CITY for the cost of materials and labor necessary
to provide piping from CITY'S existing system to NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER'S nonpotable water system. These reimbursements for the costs
of the connecting piping, if constructed by City, shall be made to CITY
whether or not NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER actually takes delivery of
nonpotable water under this Contract. Title to the water delivered by
CITY to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall change at the measuring device
as provided by paragraph 6-3.5 of this Contract.
6-1.3. Point of Delivery and Pressure

CITY will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the
necessary metering equipment, and required devices of standard type for
properly measuring the quantity of water delivered to NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER and calibration of such metering equipment within a reasonable
time if requested by NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER, but not less frequently
than once every twelve (12) months, or more frequently than once every
three (3) months. NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall provide an all-
weather access to the metering facilities for the City's use in the
installation and maintenance activities. A meter registering not more
than three percent accuracy expected from a propeller meter above or
below the test result shall be deemed to be accurate. The previous
readings of any meter disclosed by test to be inaccurate shall be
corrected in accordance with the percentage of inaccuracy found by such
tests for a period extending back one-half (112) of the time elapsed
since the last calibration date but, in no event, further back than a
period of six (6) months. If the meter is out of service or out of
repair so that the amount of water delivered cannot be ascertained or
computed from the reading thereof, the water delivered during the period
such meter is out of service or out of repair shall be estimated upon
the basis of the best data available. The metering equipment register
shall be read by CITY at least once a month. Metering equipment,
valves, and other appurtenances associated with the metering
installation shall remain the property of CITY.

6-1.5. Billing Procedure
A monthly statement of the amount of water determined to be consumed by
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER through the meter described in Section 6-1.2

or before thirty (30) days from date of issuance. In the event
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER fails to pay its statement in full on or
before the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of issuance of
said statement than in such event interest shall be added to said
statement at the maximum lawful rate of interest on prejudgment debts in
the State of Texas from such date aforementioned until said statement is
paid in full. If payment is not received by CITY within thirty (30)
days after the due date, the statement shall be deemed delinquent. CITY
shall notify NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER in writing when any such payment
shall become delinquent, and if such delinquency is not removed within
thirty (30) days after the sending of such written notice, CITY may, at
its discretion, cease supplying water to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER under
the terms of this Contract. After water has ceased to be supplied, CITY
may, at its discretion, notify NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER of its
intention to declare this Contract forfeited and null and void. Upon
such notice, NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall have thirty (30) days to
pay all delinquent charges, reconnect charges, and penalties in order to
6
reinstate water supplies prior to final action by CITY declaring this
Contract forfeited and null and void.

service may be, from time to time, modified or amended and in the event
of such modification or amendment the reference to charges for
nonpotable water shall be construed so as to apply to the last
modification or amendment. By execution of this Contract, NONPOTABLE

controversies, accidents, or acts of God, the elements, or any other
cause beyond the reasonable control of CITY. In the event of a shortage

have the right to assign this Contract, or any part thereof except as
hereinafter provided without the written consent of the other party.

affecting any other provision of the Contract, but a waiver of any one
default shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent default
or defaults. No delay by either party in enforcing any of its rights
under this Contract shall be deemed a waiver of such rights. CITY and
CITY'S agents have made no representation or promises with respect to
10
the nonpotable water supply or services except as herein expressly set
forth, and no rights, easements, entitlements, or licenses are acquired
by NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER by implication or otherwise except as

such conditions as are provided as follows:
6-1.1. Quality and Treatment
Nonpotable water is of similar quality as supplied to CITY of Lubbock
for irrigation purposes. Nonpotable water does not receive treatment
and, therefore, no guarantees concerning the quality thereof are made or
implied. Nonpotable water shall be received by NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER on an AS IS basis. CITY may furnish such supply out of various
ground water wells at its sole discretion.
6-1.2. Quantity

shall become delinquent, and if such delinquency is not removed within
thirty (30) days after the sending of such written notice, CITY may, at
its discretion, cease supplying water to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER under
the terms of this Contract. After water has ceased to be supplied, CITY
may, at its discretion, notify NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER of its
intention to declare this Contract forfeited and null and void. Upon
such notice, NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall have thirty (30) days to
pay all delinquent charges, reconnect charges, and penalties in order to

have the right to assign this Contract, or any part thereof except as
hereinafter provided without the written consent of the other party.

affecting any other provision of the Contract, but a waiver of any one
default shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent default
or defaults. No delay by either party in enforcing any of its rights

CITY'S agents have made no representation or promises with respect to
10
the nonpotable water supply or services except as herein expressly set

option to terminate service to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER.

CONDITIONS: TERM
6-1. CITY Shall Furnish Facilities
CITY shall furnish its existing nonpotable water system facilities and
construct a water tap and metering facilities as are necessary to
provide nonpotable water service to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER'S
nonpotable water system for the property described in Exhibit "A" under
such conditions as are provided as follows:
6-1.1. Quality and Treatment
Nonpotable water is of similar quality as supplied to CITY of Lubbock
for irrigation purposes. Nonpotable water does not receive treatment
and, therefore, no guarantees concerning the quality thereof are made or
implied. Nonpotable water shall be received by NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER on an AS IS basis. CITY may furnish such supply out of various
ground water wells at its sole discretion.
6-1.2. Ouantity
Quantities of nonpotable water shall be delivered as available from
CITY'S system. The availability of nonpotable water shall be determined
solely by the CITY. No guarantees of quantity, availability, or
delivery times and dates are made or implied. All nonpotable water
quantities provided shall be measured at the point of delivery. The
point of delivery will be at a measuring device located within 100 feet
of a connection to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER'S nonpotable water system.
3
The measuring device shall be located in an area reasonably accessible
by CITY at all times. CITY shall install a metering station at the
point of delivery and at its option may include in such metering station
the following devices: (1) control the rate of flow; (2) measure the
instantaneous flow of gallons per day; (3) measure peak hourly flow
during the day of maximum flow in gallons per day; (4) measure the
cumulative volume of water taken; and (5) control changes in the rate of
flow, said devices being operable by CITY at the metering station and
remotely from within CITY. Deliveries shall be contingent upon
completion of facilities necessary or convenient to deliver the water
from CITY'S existing facilities to the point of delivery. NONPOTABLE
WATER CUSTOMER not contiguous to City's existing facilities may be
required to reimburse CITY for the cost of materials and labor necessary
to provide piping from CITY'S existing system to NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER'S nonpotable water system. These reimbursements for the costs
of the connecting piping, if constructed by City, shall be made to CITY
whether or not NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER actually takes delivery of
nonpotable water under this Contract. Title to the water delivered by
CITY to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall change at the measuring device
as provided by paragraph 6-3.5 of this Contract.
6-1.3. Point of Delivery and Pressure
Water will be delivered at a flow rate and pressure as available from
CITY'S system at the meter located at the point of delivery. No
guarantees of minimum flows or pressures are made or implied.

6-1.4. Metering Equipment
CITY will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the
necessary metering equipment, and required devices of standard type for
properly measuring the quantity of water delivered to NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER and calibration of such metering equipment within a reasonable
time if requested by NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER, but not less frequently
than once every twelve (12) months, or more frequently than once every
three (3) months. NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall provide an all-
weather access to the metering facilities for the City's use in the
installation and maintenance activities. A meter registering not more
than three percent accuracy expected from a propeller meter above or
below the test result shall be deemed to be accurate. The previous
readings of any meter disclosed by test to be inaccurate shall be
corrected in accordance with the percentage of inaccuracy found by such
tests for a period extending back one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed
since the last calibration date but, in no event, further back than a
period of six (6) months. If the meter is out of service or out of
repair so that the amount of water delivered cannot be ascertained or
computed from the reading thereof, the water delivered during the period
such meter is out of service or out of repair shall be estimated upon
the basis of the best data available. The metering equipment register
shall be read by CITY at least once a month. Metering equipment,
valves, and other appurtenances associated with the metering
installation shall remain the property of CITY.
3
6-1.5. Billing Procedure
A monthly statement of the amount of water determined to be consumed by
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER through the meter described in Section 6-1.2
of this Contract during the preceding month shall be mailed to
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER. All statements for water so consumed shall
be due and payable fifteen (15) days after the issuance of said
statement. A late payment charge of five percent (5%) shall be charged
to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER if said customer fails to pay its bill on
or before thirty (30) days from date of issuance. In the event
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER fails to pay its statement in full on or
before the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of issuance of
said statement than in such event interest shall be added to said
statement at the maximum lawful rate of interest on prejudgment debts in
the State of Texas from such date aforementioned until said statement is
paid in full. If payment is not received by CITY within thirty (30)
days after the due date, the statement shall be deemed delinquent. CITY
shall notify NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER in writing when any such payment
shall become delinquent, and if such delinquency is not removed within
thirty (30) days after the sending of such written notice, CITY may, at
its discretion, cease supplying water to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER under
the terms of this Contract. After water has ceased to be supplied, CITY
may, at its discretion, notify NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER of its
intention to declare this Contract forfeited and null and void. Upon
such notice, NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall have thirty (30) days to
pay all delinquent charges, reconnect charges, and penalties in order to
6
reinstate water supplies prior to final action by CITY declaring this
Contract forfeited and null and void.
6-2. Conditions of Service
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall comply with continuing conditions of
receiving service as follows:
6-2.1. NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER's Facilities
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER agrees and understands that it will install
and maintain at its sole expense all facilities necessary for NONPOTABLE
WATER CUSTOMER to operate its water system from the point of delivery as

nonpotable water shall be established by CITY. The rates for the water
service may be, from time to time, modified or amended and in the event
of such modification or amendment the reference to charges for
nonpotable water shall be construed so as to apply to the last
modification or amendment. By execution of this Contract, NONPOTABLE
WATER CUSTOMER stipulates that the methodology relied on by CITY in
establishing the rate for nonpotable water is reasonable and fair. In
CI
the event CITY deems it necessary to adjust or modify the rate for
nonpotable water delivered pursuant to this Contract, CITY shall furnish
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER with a revised rate not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the effective date thereof. NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER
shall have the option of accepting the revised rate or terminating water
deliveries under this Contract. The rates charged do not imply or
include service by CITY beyond CITY'S point of delivery; it being the
intent of this Contract that all expenses on NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER'S
side of the point of delivery as defined in this Contract shall be the
sole expense of NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER.
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER shall pay CITY a charge of $0.50 per inch per
acre per year to furnish nonpotable water to NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER.

federal rules and regulations. The entry, sampling, and testing shall
be performed at reasonable times, with three (3) days advance notice to
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER. NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER may have a

controversies, accidents, or acts of God, the elements, or any other
cause beyond the reasonable control of CITY. In the event of a shortage
of nonpotable water, or if distribution of nonpotable water by CITY to
NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMERS is deemed inappropriate by any regulatory
agency or law, the supply of nonpotable water to NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER under this Contract shall be reduced or ceased as deemed

and regulations of any regulatory agency having jurisdiction of the
operation.

may be required to comply therewith. This Contract is subject to all
applicable federal, state, and local laws and any applicable ordinances,

order, rule or regulation which may affect the terms and conditions of
this Contract in any forum having jurisdiction, and NONPOTABLE WATER
CUSTOMER and CITY each agree to make a good faith effort to support
proposed laws and regulations which would be consistent with the
performance of this Contract in accordance with its terms.

have the right to assign this Contract, or any part thereof except as
hereinafter provided without the written consent of the other party.
Either party may waive any default on the part of the opposite party
affecting any other provision of the Contract, but a waiver of any one
default shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent default
or defaults. No delay by either party in enforcing any of its rights
under this Contract shall be deemed a waiver of such rights. CITY and
CITY'S agents have made no representation or promises with respect to
10
the nonpotable water supply or services except as herein expressly set
forth, and no rights, easements, entitlements, or licenses are acquired
by NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER by implication or otherwise except as
expressly set forth in this Contract.

Either party may waive any default on the part of the opposite party
affecting any other provision of the Contract, but a waiver of any one
default shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent default
or defaults. No delay by either party in enforcing any of its rights
under this Contract shall be deemed a waiver of such rights. CITY and
CITY'S agents have made no representation or promises with respect to
10
the nonpotable water supply or services except as herein expressly set
forth, and no rights, easements, entitlements, or licenses are acquired
by NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER by implication or otherwise except as
expressly set forth in this Contract.
6-3.4. Notice of Violation
In the event that either CITY or NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER should
violate any of the terms of Paragraph 6, hereof, the other party shall
promptly notify the other respective party of the violation. Unless
this Contract provides otherwise, in the event said violation is not
cured within thirty (30) days after the sending of such notice, the
party sending the notice may at its discretion notify the other party of
its intention to declare this Contract forfeited and null and void.
Except as otherwise provided by this Contract, upon receiving such
notice the delinquent party shall have thirty (30) days to cure said
violation prior to final action by the other party declaring this
Contract forfeiting and null and void. Any notice required under the
terms of this Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered by
certified mail, addressed to CITY or NONPOTABLE WATER CUSTOMER. If the
default cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, the length of
the period shall be extended for a reasonable period of time, if the
delinquent party commences curing the violation within the thirty day
period and continues the curing of the violation with due diligence and
continuity.
