maintenance, construction, expansion, and replacement of Customer
metering and sampling facilities shall be considered system
costs.
5.2 Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties in writing,
Fort Worth shall have the option to construct Customer metering
and sampling facilities not currently in existence. All
construction costs, including, but not limited to, site
acquisition and preparation, design and engineering, construction
and equipment for such facilities, together with the costs of
necessary easements and rights -of -way, shall be system costs,
including any and all necessary modifications to accommodate a
complete initial installation satisfactory to Fort Worth. If
Customer constructs new metering and sampling facilities,
Customer may either transfer ownership of such newly constructed
facilities, together with all necessary access easements and
rights -of -way to Fort Worth in a form satisfactory to Fort Worth
or may grant to Fort Worth the right of ingress and egress to

age,excessive maintenance, growth or other reasons as determined
by the Director shall be a system cost. Any replacement facility
12
9
May 7, 1987
or equipment therein shall comply with Fort Worth's standards and
specifications.
5.5. Upon expiration or termination of this agreement by
either party, Fort Worth shall transfer to Customer ownership of
any property easements, metering and sampling facilities and
rights -of -way conveyed to Fort Worth pursuant to the terms of
this Section 5.
6. Rights -of -Way
Customer shall grant, without charge to Fort Worth, such
easements and rights -of -way along public highways or other
property owned by Customer, as requested by Fort Worth, in order
to construct or maintain mains or facilities within the corporate
limits of Customer to provide wastewater collection to Customer
and to other areas. Upon notice from Customer and at Fort Worth
expense, Fort Worth will move such wastewater mains or facilities
located in such street right-of-way, or other property owned by
Customer when reasonably necessary to the performance of
essential governmental duties by Customer. Fort Worth shall
grant, without charge to Customer, such easements and
rights -of -way along with public highways or other property owned
by Fort Worth, as requested by Customer, in order to construct
and maintain wastewater mains or facilities within Fort Worth to
provide wastewater collection to Customer. Upon notice from Fort
Worth and at Customer's expense, Customer will move such
wastewater mains or facilities when located in such street
13
May 7, 1987
rights -of -way or other property owned by Fort Worth when
reasonably necessary to the performance of essential governmental
duties by Fort Worth. All work done by or on behalf of Fort
Worth under this paragraph will be performed in accordance with
specifications equal to those applying to work of a similar
nature performed within Fort Worth, but neither party hereto will
be required to restore the other's property to a condition
exceeding its original condition, unless otherwise mutually
agreed in writing. Fort Worth and Customer agree to coordinate
the location of the mains and/or facilities in the other's
easements and rights -of -way in order to prevent further conflicts
insofar as reasonably practicable.
7. Metering and Samplinq
7.1 All flow discharged into the Fort Worth System by
Customer shall be metered, unless specifically agreed to by both
parties in writing. Should both parties agree in writing that
metering is not possible, the agreed upon method for determining
the volume shall include an adjustment for infiltration and
inflow.
7.2 If, in the judgment of the Director, the sewage
generated within one or more areas of the Customer cannot be
accurately measured by an approved type of metering station, then
the charge for sanitary sewer service within that drainage area
will be made on a per -connection basis. In such cases, the
volume of sewage for billing purposes will be determined by
14
May 7, 1987
adding the product derived from multiplying the number of
domestic accounts within the area times 10,500 gallons to the sum
total metered water of all non -domestic accounts within the area.
The total volume so derived each month will be used as the basis
for calculating the total sewer charges due each month for that
drainage area and such charges will be added to any other
charges, if any, based on metered connections. For all such
non -metered areas, Customer will be responsible for providing
data each month on the number of domestic accounts and the
metered water volume of all non -domestic accounts. This data
will be provided by Customer to Fort Worth no later than the 5th
of each calendar month.
7.3 Customer shall have access to the metering and sampling
facilities at all reasonable times; provided, however, that any
reading, calibration or adjustment to such metering equipment
shall be done by employees or agents of Fort Worth, or other
mutually approved third party calibration agent, in the presence
of representatives of Customer and Fort Worth, if so requested by
Customer. Notification of any proposed tests shall be provided to
the Customer at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to such tests
being conducted.
7.4 All readings of meters will be entered in ink upon bound
journals maintained by Fort Worth. Customer shall have access to
such records during reasonable business hours and shall be
15
May 7, 1987
furnished with monthly totalizer readings for each point of entry
metering and sampling facility.
7.5 Fort Worth shall calibrate and routinely service the
meters no less than once during each six (6) month period. Copies
of the results of such calibration and all related information
shall be provided to Customer. Fort Worth shall notify the
Customer at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the date
and time for any calibration and Customer may observe, if so
desired.
7.6 Upon any calibration, if it is determined that the
accuracy envelope of such meter is found to be lower than
ninety-five percent (95%) or higher than one hundred five percent
(105%) expressed as a percentage of the full scale of the meter,
the registration of the flow as determined by such defective
meter shall be corrected for a period extending back to the time
such inaccuracy began, if such time is ascertainable; or, if such
time is not ascertainable, then for a period extending back
one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the date of the last
calibration, but in no event further back than a period of six
(6) months.
7.7 If any meter used to determine volume from Customer is
out of service or out of repair so that the amount of
wastewater metered cannot be ascertained or computed from the
reading thereof, the wastewater delivered through the period such
meter is out of service or out of repair shall be estimated and
16
May 7, 1987
agreed upon by the parties hereto upon the basis of the best data
available. The basis for estimating such flow includes, but is
not limited to, extrapolation of past patterns of flow for said
metering station under similar conditions. In the event that the
parties hereto cannot agree on the extrapolated estimate of
wastewater volume delivered, agreement on the flow volume will be
determined by third party arbitration.
7.8 Fort Worth shall periodically determine the quality of
the wastewater at the metering and sampling facilities or other
agreed upon sampling points for the purposes of billing for the
strength of the wastewater. The sampling and testing shall
normally occur at such frequency as determined by the monthly
flow of sewerage, as outlined in the sampling table below:
Customer Flow
Monitoring
(million qallons per month) (times per year)
80 and more
3
Greater than 50 and less than 80 2
50 or less
1
To determine the quality of the wastewater, Fort Worth shall
collect twenty-four (24) hour flow -weighted composite samples for
a period of not less than five (5) consecutive twenty-four (24)
hour periods. Fort Worth will provide Customer with a minimum of
seven (7) day advance notification of intent to sample, or such
17
May 7, 1987
notification as is sufficient to allow Customer to arrange the
services of a qualified laboratory.
If, at the request of Customer or at the request of the Director,
more extensive monitoring is desired, such additional monitoring
shall be paid for by the party making the request and shall be
done in compliance with Section 7. If Customer requests such
additional monitoring, Fort Worth shall invoice Customer and
payment shall be made within ten (10) days after receipt of
invoice.
The notification required in this section shall include the
planned dates, times, and location(s) of sampling. Fort Worth
shall analyze the samples collected in accordance with standard
methods. Customer may be present during the initial setup of
sampling equipment and at the time of pickup for each twenty-four
(24) hour composite sample. Fort Worth agrees, if requested, to
split said wastewater samples with Customer.
7.9 If in the opinion of the Director, compliance monitoring
is required, the Director may order that additional monitoring be
performed with or without prior notice to Customer. Said
compliance monitoring is to be in addition to the periodic
sampling set forth in Section 7.8. All information obtained as a
result of such compliance monitoring shall be provided to the
Customer upon request. Fort Worth will provide notice of such
compliance monitoring to Customer within a reasonable time
thereafter.
w
May 7, 1987
7.10 If Customer disputes Fort Worth results of analyses
and the parties hereto cannot settle such dispute, such dispute
will be determined by third party arbitration.
7.11 Costs incurred by Fort Worth under this section will be
considered to be a system cost.
8. Rates and Charges
8.1 Wholesale wastewater rates will be based upon cost -of -
service rate studies performed by independent utility rate
consultants as described herein. The independent utility rate
consultant shall be selected by Director from a list of five
highly qualified firms submitted by the Wastewater System
Advisory Committee. The cost of such studies will be a system
cost. All cost -of -service studies shall be conducted utilizing
the utility cost basis of determining revenue requirements
applicable to the wholesale customer class.
8.2 The cost -of -service for the wholesale class shall
include allocated reasonable and necessary operation and
maintenance expense, depreciation expense and a fair and
reasonable return on allocated capital facilities. To determine
the allocation and distribution of costs to the wholesale
customer class, the independent utility rate consultant shall
consider at least the following factors: total volume, rate of
flow, wastewater quality, metering, and customer -related costs
such as accounting, billing, and monitoring. Capital -related
costs will consist of depreciation expense and return on
19
May 7, 1987
original cost rate base. On a periodic basis as determined by the
Director the depreciation rates on all general benefit capital
facilities shall be studied, and new salvage values, useful
lives, and annual rates of depreciation shall be developed from
such studies. The rate base shall consist of all allocated
capital facilities, net of depreciation and appropriate
contributions, and shall include construction work in progress, a
reasonable allowance for working capital, and a reasonable
inventory of materials and supplies necessary for the efficient
operation of the Fort Worth System. On a periodic basis as
determined by the Director, a cash "lead -lag" study shall be
conducted to determine the appropriate level of working capital
at the same time as the above depreciation rate study is done.
Records of the original cost and the accumulated depreciation of
all capital facilities shall be maintained in the Fort Worth
Fixed Asset Tracking System. These records shall be available
for inspection at the Fort Worth Water Department during
reasonable business hours upon request by Customer.
8.3 Fort Worth shall be allowed an adequate opportunity to
earn a reasonable rate of return. The return shall be sufficient
to assure confidence in the financial soundness of the utility,
shall be adequate to maintain and support its credit, shall
enable it to raise the money necessary for the proper discharge
of its public duties, and shall be equal to the weighted average
PXII
May 7, 1987
imbedded cost of outstanding debt plus one -and -one-half percent
(1 1/2%).
8.4 Every three (3) years, a detailed wholesale revenue
requirement shall be developed on an actual historical cost test
year basis allowing for reasonable and necessary expenses of
providing such wastewater service and allowing for known and
measurable adjustments. Such adjustments should allow for year-
end trending and the spreading of non -recurring expenses over an
appropriate benefit period. The first test year shall be October
1st, 1986, through September 30th, 1987, and the first detailed
cost -of -service study shall be performed by an independent
utility rate consultant during the first two (2) calendar
quarters of 1989, based on audited data for the immediate past
fiscal year ended September 30, 1988. On a three (3) year cycle
thereafter, a complete detailed rate study will be performed with
the same methodology used in the previous rate study by an
independent utility rate consultant. Thereafter, changes in the
methodology will be allowed if recommended by a majority of the
Wastewater System Advisory Committee, such majority defined by
any combination of Customers contributing a total of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the wholesale sewage flow in the immediate
past fiscal year, and approved by the Fort Worth City Council.
In the interim period between complete detailed rate studies,
wholesale wastewater rates shall be adjusted by Fort Worth using
the same methodology adopted at the time of the last complete
21
May 7, 1987
detailed rate study, utilizing the actual operating data for the
twelve month period ending September 30th of the prior year,
adjusted for known and measurable changes in cost data which may
have occurred since the last audited statement.
8.5 The initial rates for this contract shall be those
approved by the Tarrant County Mayor's Council on April 27, 1987,
and adopted by the Fort Worth City Council on May 7, 1987, and
are as follows:
Volume Charge
$0.3374 per 1000 gallons
BOD Strength
Charges
$0.0683 per pound of BOD
TSS Strength
Charges
$0.0417 per pound of TSS
Monthly Billing
Charges
$27.00
8.6 Bills for wastewater treatment and disposal service
shall be rendered to wholesale Customers monthly by Fort Worth.
All such bills shall be due and payable by each Customer not more
than thirty (30) days from the billing date. The bills will show
current charges, as well as past -due charges, if any. Current
charges shall be the amount due for wastewater collection,
treatment and disposal service provided since the prior billing
period. Past -due charges shall be the total amount unpaid from
P*a
May 7, 1987
all prior billings as of the current billing date. Payments
received by Fort Worth shall first be applied to the past -due
charges, if any, and thereafter to the current charges.
8.7 If Customer disputes a bill and is unable to resolve the
difference informally, Customer shall notify the Director in
writing. If the Director and Customer are unable to resolve the
disputed bill, agreement on the bill will be determined by third
party arbitration. Dispute of a bill is not grounds for
non-payment. In the event a payment is not paid as specified in
this agreement, a finance charge of ten percent (10%) per annum
will be calculated from the date which the payment was required
to be made. In the event the bill established by arbitration is
less than the disputed bill, then the amount found to be
incorrect will be credited to the Customer's account together
with an interest charge of ten percent (10%) per annum calculated
from the date payment of the disputed bill was received.
8.8 The parties hereto agree that services obtained pursuant
to this contract are essential and necessary to the operation of
Customer's waterworks and wastewater facilities and that all
payments made by each Customer hereunder shall constitute
reasonable and necessary operating expenses of Customer's
waterworks and wastewater systems within the meaning of Article
1113, Vernon's Annotated Texas Statutes, and the provisions of
any and all ordinances of Customer authorizing the issuance of
23
May 7, 1987
any revenue bond issues of Customer which are payable from its
waterworks and wastewater systems.
8.9 Customer agrees, throughout the term of this agreement,
to fix and collect such rates and charges for wastewater service
to be supplied as will produce revenues in an amount equal to at
least (i) all of operation and maintenance expenses of such
system, including specifically its payments under this agreement;
and (ii) all other amounts as required by law and the provisions
of the ordinances or resolutions authorizing its revenue bonds or
other obligations now or hereafter outstanding, including the
amounts required to pay all principal of and interest on such
bonds and other obligations.
8.10 Customer specifically agrees to adopt and maintain in
effect for the life of this contract an ordinance providing for a
user charge system in full accord with relevant EPA regulations.
9. Industrial Connection and Monitoring
9.1 Customer agrees that it will not permit any significant
industrial user within its jurisdiction to connect directly or
indirectly either to its system or to the Fort Worth System
without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notification to
the Director of such intent to connect. Customer shall provide
the Director with such information pertaining to volume and
composition of flow as may be requested by the Director.
9.2 Customer agrees to conduct any and all monitoring,
sampling and inspection of Customer System and industrial users
24
May 7, 1987
as necessary to insure that industrial waste introduced into the
Customer System meets the quality standards set out in Section
10.2 hereof. Upon request to Customer, a representative of Fort
Worth will be permitted to observe Customer's collection of
samples from industrial users, and Customer agrees to furnish
Fort Worth separate duplicate samples for independent testing,
and, upon request, to provide the Director sample analysis
results and pretreatment records.
9.3 Customer agrees that Fort Worth shall have the right to
sample wastewater at all points of entry and such other locations
as may be mutually agreed to in writing by both parties for the
purpose of determining the volume and quality of wastewater
entering the Fort Worth System. Customer agrees to disconnect
