§ 4.16.080. Recycled water service application.

A.

Application for Service Connection. An application for a service connection must be made on a form furnished by the District. The applicant shall provide the District with the anticipated recycled water demand (maximum gallons per minute) and shall specify the size of the water meter that is desired; however the District ultimately reserves the right to determine the size of the service connection and meter. The applicant shall also specify the property to be served. The information supplied by the applicant shall be considered as authoritative and final. If any error in such application shall cause installation of a service connection that is improper, either in size or location, the cost of all changes required shall be borne by the applicant. The steps for obtaining recycled water service are as follows:

1.

The user completes and submits a recycled water service application, including existing facility "as-built" drawings or proposed facility plans as appropriate, description of where and how recycled water use is proposed, and any other information pertinent to the use of recycled water as requested by the Administrator.

2.

An engineering report prepared by a properly qualified engineer registered in California and experienced in the field of wastewater treatment describing proposed/requested recycled water use(s) must be submitted to DHS for approval. The District or Inland Empire Utilities Agency may prepare the report on behalf of the user, provided that the user pays all costs associated with the preparation of the report. The report shall contain:

(a)

A description of the design of the proposed reclamation system.

(b)

A means for compliance with these regulations and any other features specified by the regulatory agency.

(c)

A contingency plan which will assure that no untreated or inadequately treated wastewater will be delivered to the use area.

3.

The user and the District will address any concerns that the DHS may have regarding the Engineering Report and revise the report accordingly.

4.

Once the DHS approves the engineering report, the applicant will enter into a Recycled Water Use Agreement with the District, and pay any applicable fees.

5.

The Administrator will schedule a start-up test of on-site recycled water system to ensure that cross-connections do not exist.

6.

Upon the successful completion of the test, the Administrator may authorize recycled water service to begin.
