Water Treatment Guarantee - The Authority shall operate the Facilities to produce Finished Water from the Plant in compliance with the requirements of Applicable Law and the Enhanced Standards (whichever is more stringent) set forth below. The City will provide the Authority with advance notice of its intention to undertake a Capital Modification of the Facilities. The Authority must inform the City within a time frame to be agreed upon by the parties as to whether such proposed Capital Modification will adversely affect the ability of the Authority to meet a Performance Guarantee. Chlorine residuals less than 2.5 mg/l but high enough to ensure 0.2 mg/l minimum at all points in the City's distribution system; TTHMIHAA levels below 75% of regulatory compliance levels (as measured at the Plant); Fluoride levels at 0.7 - 1.0 mg/l; TOC removal in compliance with regulatory requirements or alternate compliance criteria; Chlorite ion levels below levels that cause taste/odor in the distribution system; Turbidity below 75% of regulatory limit on average monthly basis with no spikes to or above regulatory level; and · Stable, non-corrosive water with verified no pipe material etching/damage or color. 2. Water Availability Guarantee- The Authority shall, at all times, operate the Facilities to maintain storage tank levels in accordance with the Water Availability Requirement set forth in Section 7.3. The Authority shall maintain and/or monitor measuring devices in such Finished Water reservoirs sufficient for determining the level of Finished Water in such reservoirs on a continuous basis. Such requirement will assure the availability of Finished Water to the System in the event an extended power outage disables the Facilities or if needed for fire fighting purposes. 3. Production Efficiency Guarantee- The Authority shall operate the Plant to achieve a treatment process loss (Raw Water to Finished Water production) of no more than 5% on an annual average basis over the course of each Contract Year following the Commencement Date. 4. Water Pressure and Flow Guarantee- The Authority shall, at all times, operate the Facilities such that the normal System water pressure range is 35 to 115 PSI at the highest to lowest pressure zone elevations, respectively. The preferred pressure range is 50-80 PSI where and when conditions allow. Pressures outside the stated range will not be the responsibility of the Authority if due to malfunctions in the distribution system, such as leaks, closed valves or localized water hammer effects not caused by pump operation effects. 5. Water Quantity Guarantee- The Authority shall furnish Finished Water on demand to the City's service recipients, and meet emergency fire flow capacity requirements in accordance with Applicable Law. In addition, the Authority shall furnish Finished Water in the quantities required under the City's agreement to provide Finished Water to the City of Kyle and other customers designated by the City during the Term of the Service Contract. 16
