B. Meter. The CITY will install, at its own cost, a metering facility approved by the COUNTY at the point of interconnection. C. Connection Charges. The COUNTY agrees to waive all connection fees provided the primary purpose of the Agreement is maintained. Should, at anytime in the future, the CITY wish to receive service beyond the purpose of the Agreement, the CITY shall pay to the COUNTY, all applicable charges as per Resolution 99-58 or as amended. D. Meter Calibration. The CITY will own and be responsible for the maintenance and calibration of the meter(s) installed at the point of interconnection. An outside contractor certified for calibration of flow instrumentation shall perform the calibration. Annual calibration records will be submitted to the COUNTY for review to ensure billing accuracy. E. Billing. The COUNTY will invoice the CITY for monthly water usage as set forth in the Indian River County Schedule of Water and Sewer Rates for Bulk Water Service. The bulk flow charge based upon the meter reading, as read by the COUNTY will be charged to the CITY. All costs to be recovered will be charged per Indian River County Code and related provisions. The bulk water rate shall not be modified without justification, and shall remain proportional to the retail water rates in the COUNTY Schedule of Water and Sewer Rates for Bulk Water Service. Since this service is standby emergency service only, a commodity (gallonage) charge will be billed. There shall be no capacity charge or minimum bill, nor will the COUNTY charge any non -commodity charges normally charged to retail customers. In the event of meter failure, the CITY will expedite repairs and the COUNTY will estimate the usage and bill according to best available information, which may exceed the CITY'S estimate. It is therefore in the CITY'S interest to ensure prompt repair of all metering equipment. F. Maintenance of System. The CITY will maintain all CITY -installed transmission systems in reliable condition, as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and accepted utility practices. G. Maximum Consumption. The Maximum demand on the COUNTY system is estimated to be 200,000 gallons per day. H. Water Quality.

The CITY shall be responsible for ensuring water quality, including Chlorine residual, beyond the point of interconnection. 3. Operating the Interconnection The CITY shall notify the operator of the COUNTY'S water treatment plant of any emergency and the COUNTY'S operator shall be responsible for having a COUNTY representative at the interconnection site within the hour of notification of need for joint operation of the interconnection.
