deliver Effluent of the quality shown on Exhibit E to either or both
the 23rd Avenue Plant Delivery Point and the 91st Avenue Plant Delivery
Point as the Participants may from time to time designate and in the
amounts as the Participants have exercised their Option thereof;
provided that such amounts are available at the designated delivery
point; and provided, however, that the Participants shall not be
obligated to accept delivery of Effluent which does not meet the
quality set forth in Exhibit E.
7.3 Phoenix on behalf of itself and the other Cities covenants
and agrees that it will operate, maintain, repair and replace the 23rd
Avenue Plant and 91st Avenue Plant in at least substantially the same
condition as they exist upon the date of the execution of this
Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted and shall enlarge the
capacity of the 91st Avenue Plant as required from tune to time to
treat increased quantities of wastewater delivered to the plant in a
manner and on a schedule such that the annual average DOD of the
Effluent from said plant shall not exceed 30 mg/l due to increased
flows through said Plant. Phoenix may make alterations in,
-16-
modifications to, replacements , betterments and improve ments of and
to the 23rd Avenue Plant and the 91st Avenue Plant; provided, however,
that the Cities shall at all times carry out their obligations pursuant
to Section 7.2 hereof. The Cities further covenant and agree that they
will not install, operate and maintain any new sewage treatment plant
at any other location if the installation, operation and maintenance of
such new plant would impair the ability of the Cities to transfer and
deliver Effluent pursuant to this Agreement. In this connection,
however, it is recognized that the long-range Master Plan for the
collection and treatment of wastewater from the urban development in
the metropolitan. area extends into drainage basins not normally
tributary to the 23rd Avenue or the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment
Plants. New treatment facilities for the Gila and lower Litchfield
tributary basins are envisioned, as generally described in the
"Wastewater Report for the Valley Metropolitan Area of Phoenix,
Arizona" by John Carollo Engineers, dated December, 1968. Nothing
herein is intended to impair the implementation of the Master Plan nor
to grant Participants any rights or interests in wastewater collected
in the Gila and lower Litchfield tributary basins, and treated at such
envisioned new facilities. Prior to the beginning of each calendar
year, the Participants shall submit to the W&S Director in writing, the
-17-
estimates of water requirements (including Construction Water) on a
daily basis or by month for the ensuing calendar year. Such estimates
will be used by the W &S Director as an operational guide and for
planning purposes. It is understood that Water Requirements cited in
Section S of this Agreement are annual quantities only. Nothing herein
shall obligate Phoenix to operate the wastewater treatment plants in
such a manner as to process Effluent in uniformly equal daily or
monthly quantities, it being understood that the proper operation of
the plants is dependent upon the operation of other related wastewater
disposal facilities and the amount of non-consumptive use of
water-producing raw wastewater discharged into the sanitary sewer
system. Like wise, it is understood that the maximum amount of Effluent
available for the Participants' use is restricted to the amount of
Uncommitted Effluent which has been processed at the treatment plants.
The Participant's Facilities located at the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue
Delivery Points shall include metering devices, approved by the W & S
Director and the Operating Agent's Engineer, which shall be the basis
for determining the amount of Effluent sold.
7.4 Prior to the effective date of the exercise of any option
pursuant to Section 6.2 the W & S Director and the Operating Agent's
Engineer shall agree upon written practices and procedures relating to
processing and delivery of Effluent pursuant to this Section 7, and its
receipt, storage and transportation by the Participants during
Operating Emergencies and Scheduled Outages.
-18-
7.5 The transfer, sale and delivery of Effluent by the City
to the Participants in amounts equal to the Unit 1 Water Requirements,
Unit 2 Water Requirements, Unit 3. Water Requirements and Unit 4 Water
Requirements; shall in each case terminate and expire on the Unit 1
Shutdown Date, Unit 2 Shutdown Date, Unit 3 Shutdown Date and Unit 4
Shutdown Date, respectively. On such dates the amount of the sale and
purchase of Effluent related to each ANPP Unit shall terminate, without
further act of the Participants. The Participants agree to provide
Phoenix with at least 24 months' notice of intent of any Shutdown Date.
7.6 Nothing herein shall be construed to constitute a
waiver, relinquishment, abandonment or forfeiture of any appropriative
water rights of any of the Cities or any other party hereto.

1. SOURCE OF WASTEWATER
The 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plants receive and
treat all wastewater discharged into the respective tributary sanitary sewer
systems of the Cities, which serve residential, commercial and industrial
establishments. Storm water is not intended to be admitted into the sanitary
sewer Systems but is handled by separate storm sewer Systems which are not
tributary to the treatment works.
The water supply from which the wastewater derives, after being used
for domestic, commercial and industrial purposes, consists of surface water from
the Salt and Verde Rivers and ground water from numerous wells. In the future,
Colorado River water may be an added source.
The strength and character of wastewater entering the Phoenix sewer
system is regulated by Ordinance. All establishments that produce wastewater
that exceeds the limits set forth in the Ordinance are required to pretreat
their wastewater before it is accepted into the sewer system. A copy of the
currently effective "Maximum Allowable Limits for Discharge into the Phoenix
Sanitary Sewers System" - P-S3, dated December 22, 1970, is attached, In
addition, tile contractual agreements between Phoenix and the other Cities
involved in the Multi-City Sewerage Plan include restrictions and controls
regarding the strength and character of wastewater consistent with the Phoenix
regulations.

2. QUANTITY OF EFFLUENT
Attached is a copy of "Wastewater Flow Projections 1972-2000:
Estimated Uncommitted Effluent Available, Acre Feet/Year."
3. QUALITY OF EFFLUENT AND METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Both the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plants
are designed and operated, as will be any anticipated future additions,
to provide secondary treatment for all wastewaters delivered to them by
the sanitary sewage collection system. This secondary treatment is
presently accomplished at both plants by the activated sludge process.
Effluent quality is based upon and determined at each plant
by suspended solids and BOD analyses performed daily on representative
composite samples. The analyses are performed in accordance with the
latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, published jointly by the American Public Health
Association, American Water Works Association, and the Water Pollution
Control Federation.
The 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plants, and
any future addition thereto, will continue to be operated in such a
manner that will produce an Effluent that will comply with the Rules
and Regulations of the Arizona State Department of Health.
E-2
The City shall exercise all reasonable efforts to operate,
maintain, enlarge and improve the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Plants in
a manner such that the quality of the Effluent therefrom to be
