In addition, customers shall comply with all applicable provisions contained in the city's Recycled Water Use Guidelines and Recycled Water Standards and Specifications, permit conditions, and other laws, regulations, agreements, orders, guidelines, and/or standards, any amending or superseding requirements thereof. The customer shall bear all costs incurred to remedy the noncompliance with any such provisions, and shall pay any monetary penalties or fines imposed for the violation of or noncompliance with such provisions.

Customers shall maintain such facilities in good working order as to achieve compliance with all city requirements applicable to use of recycled water. Any proposed changes to the customer-owned recycled water facilities shall be submitted for approval by the city in advance of making such modifications. B. Use of Recycled Water. Customers shall be responsible for application of recycled water on their use areas and the associated operations and maintenance of the customer-owned facilities as approved in their site permit. Use of recycled water beyond the areas and uses in the approved permit requires a permit modification application to be submitted to the city, payment of applicable fee, and written city approval. C. Disclosure. Customers and/or city certified trained personnel (also referred to as the designated site supervisor) shall be responsible for informing persons to whom they have delegated responsibility for applying recycled water of the requirements of the city. Customers shall provide employee training to those employees who may be exposed to recycled water to assure proper operation of recycled water facilities and worker protection. Customers shall assure that all above-ground equipment, including pumps, piping, storage reservoirs, valves, etc., which may at any time contain recycled water, shall be adequately and clearly identified with appropriate warning signs and shall make necessary provisions to inform the public that recycled water, which is unfit for human consumption, is being used. D. Monitoring. Customers shall regularly monitor customer-owned facilities and submit accurate monitoring reports to the city on a timely basis in accordance with the reporting requirements outlined in the recycled water use permit issued by the city to the customer. The customer shall notify the city immediately if any unauthorized use or discharge of recycled water occurs, or if other conditions occur, which impact or threaten to impact the public health.
