RECYCLED WATER USER AGREEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City’s Disinfected Tertiary Treatment Facility produces recycled water of satisfactory quality for use consistent with Title 22 Recycled Water Criteria; and WHEREAS, to distribute recycled water, the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water requires development of Rules and Regulations with references to related ordinances, rules of services, and user agreements to ensure compliance with those rules; and
WHEREAS, Fresno Municipal Code section 6-905 requires that each recycled water user execute a recycled water user agreement before recycled water can be delivered, used, or discharged upon any property or use area; and WHEREAS, upon submission of an application deemed to be in conformance with all applicable requirements and a determination that the property can be served with recycled water, the owner of the property may become a recycled water user by entering into a recycled water user agreement that complies with all applicable regulations and requirements; and
WHEREAS, while the Fresno Municipal Code authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities (Director) to administer, implement, and enforce the provisions of the Recycled Water Ordinance, it does not expressly authorize the Director to execute recycled water user agreements; and
