Section 7:11-5.15 - Withdrawal system

(a) Water shall be withdrawn from the Manasquan Reservoir System at purchaser's sole cost and expense. Title to all water supplied from the Manasquan Reservoir System shall be in the Authority up to the point of delivery, at which point title shall pass to the purchaser upon its withdrawal of such water.

(b) The Authority shall grant to the purchaser an easement for the term of the water purchase contract permitting access for the purchaser's staff and equipment upon, over and under Manasquan Reservoir System property as may be necessary to install and construct the purchaser's interconnection system at the point of delivery and on adjoining Manasquan Reservoir System property at or near the point of delivery, and to replace, repair, operate and maintain purchaser's interconnection system, all at purchaser's sole cost and expense.

(c) Purchaser shall submit its engineering plans for purchaser's interconnection system to the Authority and shall commence construction of such interconnection system as soon as final approval of such plans by the Authority. Purchaser shall allow the Authority to test the interconnection system prior to operation of the interconnection system. Failure to complete construction of the purchaser's interconnection system shall not affect the obligation of purchaser to make the quarterly water payments and the other payments provided for under the water purchase contract.

(d) The purchaser shall make no material alterations in purchaser's interconnection system without the prior written approval of the Authority.

(e) The purchaser shall make such changes in its withdrawal system as may from time to time be ordered in writing by the Authority.

(f) The Authority or its designated representative shall have the right at any time to examine purchaser's interconnection system. The purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, within 10 days (or such longer period as may be required by law) after receipt of written demand from the Authority, make such modifications or repairs to purchaser's interconnection system as, in the opinion of the Authority, may be required to eliminate leakage of water from, or potential damage to, the System. On purchaser's failure to do so the Authority may make such modifications and repairs and the purchaser shall reimburse the Authority promptly after demand for the Authority's cost and expense in so doing.
