EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT
Lakehaven/Auburn Intertie No. 1
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into by and betWeen the City of Auburn,
hereinafter referred to as "City", and Lakehaven Utility District, hereinafter referred to as
"District".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City has water facilities in the vicinity of a water main of the District,
and
WHEREAS, the City can increase the reliability of water for its customers, including
Covington Water District and Water District No. 111, if water is available from the District in
the event of an emergency, and
WHEREAS, the District is willing to provide to the City emergency service upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED as follows:
1. The District hereby grants to the City the right to connect, for the purposes described
herein, a water meter and appurtenances to the end of the 16-inch water main located in
the vicinity of 15th Street Northwest and Terrace Drive in King County, Washington,
more specifically shown on Exhibit A. The intertie facility shall be sited on property
owned by the City.
2. The meter described in Paragraph No. 1 herein is installed to provide an emergency
water supply. Water shall not be withdrawn from the supply without the prior written
approval of the District. At the time approval is sought, the City shall state the requested
time of commencement of use, the expected duration of withdrawal and the quantity of
water to be withdrawn. The City shall request in writing an extension of, or reduction in
the duration of the withdrawal if the duration of the withdrawal is expected to vary from
the original estimate. The District and City shall read the meter upon activation and upon
deactivation of the intertie. The District may periodically bill the City for water used
while the intertie is in operation or may bill for all such use after the withdrawal has
ended.
3. It is anticipated by the parties that because the facility will be funded by agencies with
emergency or intermptible water supply agreements with the City (specifically Covington
Water District and Water District #111), the City may be called upon by adjoining
agencies to provide an emergency supply of water beyond the City's ability to produce
such supply, and therefore requests for emergency service under this Agreement may
originate on behalf of those adjoining agencies.
Exhibit "A" - Res. 3443 Page 1
4. Upon completion of the Emergency Intertie construction, the DiStrict will own and
maintain the meter, associated appurtenances necessary to monitor emergency use of the
intertie, the gate valve upstream of the vault and all piping upstream of the meter. The
City will own and maintain the vault, control valve, and all other piping and
appurtenances downstream of the meter (see Exhibit B). The City and the District shall
have mutual access to the vault for periodic inspection and maintenance or repair of their
respective facilities.
5. The City shall comply with all District resolutions and roles applicable to a
connection to the District's water system including, but not limited to, the requirement
that the District provide written approval of plans and specifications for the connection of
intertie facilities prior to construction.
6. The City shall pay to the District the base monthly service charge and quantity charge
for any water received. Monthly service and quantity charge rates shall be established or
amended by District resolution for the use of an eight (8)-inch meter and the applicable
water rate. The rate for emergency water use Will be the greater of the District's adopted
summer non-residential (Commercial/Public Authority) water rate or the City of
Tacoma's (Tacoma) adopted wholesale water rate plus a District wheeling rate
determined by the District. Examples of the current rates are included in Exhibit C. The
District or Tacoma may revise these rates from time to time without notice to the City and
such revised rates shall apply to emergency water deliveries made pursuant to this
agreement.
7. This Agreement shall not authorize or permit the City to take water from the
'connection described herein beyond what is described in paragraph 2, 3, and Exhibit D.
o
Conditions
(a.) In the event the District determines that the use of the emergency intertie is or
will impose a negative impact to the public health, safety, or the equitable
distribution of water within the District, the District may change, reduce or
limit the time for, or temporarily discontinue, the withdrawal of water without
notice;
(b.) Water service may be temporarily interrupted or otherwise limited for
purposes of making repairs, extensions or doing other necessary work to the
water system; and
(c.) Prior to a planned interruption or limiting of service as set forth in (b) above
the District will notify the City of such planned interruption or limiting of
service. The District agrees to use best efforts to notify the City as soon after
it becomes aware of the need for such a service disruption.
(d.) Operating conditions are as described in Exhibit C
9. Payment of all invoices for services and charges from the District shall be paid within
45 days of the invoice date.
10. In the event of non-performance of any provision herein by the City, District may shut
off water supplied pursuant to this Agreement.
Exhibit "A" - Res. 3443 Page 2

or claims arising out of or in any way resulting from the City's default, failure of
performance, or negligent conduct associated with this Agreement. This indemnification
provision shall include, but is not limited to, all claims against the District by an
employee or former employee of the City or their contractors and, as to such claims, the
City expressly waives all immunity and limitation of liability under Title 51 RCW.

Example of Monthly Meter Cost:
Lakehaven currently does not have an adopted monthly rate for an 8" meter, and would use an
amount near Tacoma's monthly meter rate until such time as Lakehaven adopts a rate for this
size meter.
Tacoma's rate for an 8" meter is $815.04 (Effective 4/23/01)
Lakehaven's proposed starting monthly rate: $804.00

Exhibit D
Operating Conditions
Prior to intertie activation the 16" water main upstream of the District's meter
shall be flushed by the District. Any costs incurred by the District beyond
labor time and the cost of water used for the flushing operation shall be paid by
the City.
e
The City will maintain a back pressure-sustaining feature within the metering
facility in order to maintain adequate pressure within the District's service area
while also preventing uncontrolled flows. The District will maintain the right
to authorize or direct the City to change the minimum up-stream pressure
setting if an adjustment is warranted to increase flow capacity or maintain
adequate pressure in the District's distribution system. The initial settings for
the pressure-sustaining valve shall be noted on the approved construction plans
and shall be stored in a waterproof container in the vault. Records of any
future revised pressure settings shall be maintained and noted on the "record
drawings" for the metering facility retained by the parties, and the information
stored in the vault shall be updated.
The City will control the delivery flow rate from Lakehaven. The current
estimated maximum allowable flow rate from Lakehaven is 1750 gpm ( or 2.5
mgd) more or less, so long as Lakehaven customers are not impacted. The
City's system has the capacity to receive water at a maximum instantaneous
rate of up to approximately 5 mgd.
4. The District and City will coordinate the telemetry system so each will receive
the signal required for its operation and monitoring.
