. MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT CONCERNING RECLAIMED WATER SUPPLY e
City of Clearwater Parks and Recreation Department ("Facility") and City of Clearwater
Public Utilities Department ("Utilities") enter into this Memorandum of Understanding
concerning Parks and Recreation projects which become users of the Public Utilities
Reclaimed Water System:
1. Utilities agrees to supply reclaimed water to Facility for the purpose of
irrigation during the pendency of its Reclaimed Water Program. Utilities is
not responsible for any cost incurred by Facility for the maintenance of its
irrigation system. Facility shall install and maintain a backup system in the
event that Utilities cannot supply reclaimed water to the facility's storage
ponds due to regulatory or maintenance issues within the reclaimed water
system. Utilities shall not be held liable for damage to any greens,
landscaping, sod, mulch, or other features, due to unforeseen events
related to reclaimed water supply or distribution.
2. Utilities agrees to notify Facility of unusual or catastrophic events
concerning reclaimed water supply or distribution of which it becomes
aware.
3. At such time as reclaimed water is delivered by Utilities to any storage
ponds on the premises, Facility shall assume responsibility for said water
and shall abide by all state and federal regulations pertaining thereto,
including but not limited to Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-610. Any
violation found by the State of Florida shall be timely corrected and Facility
shall comply with any followup inspection and reporting requirements.
Utilities shall not be held responsible for any violations found within
Facility's storage facilities or ponds. Existing or proposed lakes or ponds
such as golf course ponds may be appropriate for storage of reclaimed
water and stormwater management if all requirements of applicable
regulatory agencies have been met. In the event that such storage lakes
or ponds discharge intermittently or continuously to waters of the State of
Florida, discharge permitting shall be required. The discharge shall be
subject to the requirements of the antidegradation policy contained in
Florida Administrative Code Rules 62-4.242 and 63-302.300. All storage
ponds should be designed to be self-contained with no structures, which
could be construed as discharge structures [weirs, catch basins, etc.].
4. Facility shall be subject to Reclaimed Water Rate Structure and
regulations as found in City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances Chapter 32,
Sections 32.351 et seQ., and to the schedule of fees set forth in Appendix
A, Schedule of Fees, Rates, and Charges, Section XXV(3)(f), as amended
from time to time.
