wastewater service from Utility shall be subject to the provisions of the Authority's
Pretreatment Policy, as set forth in Authority Resolution No. 1997/1998-11, duly adopted
June 16, 1998, which, as the same may be amended from time to time, is on file with the
Recording Secretary for the Authority and is available for review during normal business
hours of the Authority.
(4) Continuity of Service. Utility will at all times use reasonable diligence to
provide continuous water, reuse water and wastewater service, and having used reasonable
diligence, shall not be liable to Customer for failure or interruption of continuous water,
reuse water and wastewater service. Utility shall not be liable for any act or omission caused
directly or indirectly by strikes, labor trouble, accidents, litigation, breakdowns, shutdowns
for emergency repairs or adjustments, acts of sabotage, governmental interferences, illegal or
improper cross-connections with other water systems, wastewater systems, reuse systems,
wells, septic tanks or drain fields, or Customer or other third-party facilities or apparatus, acts
of God or other causes beyond its control.
(5) Type of Maintenance. Customer's pipes, apparatus and equipment shall be
selected, installed, used and maintained in accordance with standard practice and shall
conform to the rules and regulations of Utility. Utility shall not be responsible for the
maintenance and operation of Customer's pipes and facilities. Customer expressly agrees not
to utilize any appliance or device, including without limitation any water filters, pumps,
wells, septic tanks, storage tanks or drain fields, which is not properly constructed, controlled
and protected, or which may adversely affect water, reuse water or wastewater service
provided by Utility. Utility reserves the right to discontinue or withhold water, reuse water
and wastewater service to such apparatus or device.
(6) Change of Customer's Installation. No changes or increases in Customer's
installation, which will materially affect the proper operation of the pipes, mains, or stations
of Utility, shall be made without written consent of Utility. Customer shall be liable for any
change resulting from a violation of this rule.
(7) Protection of Utility's Property. Customer shall exercise reasonable diligence
to protect Utility's property on Customer's premises and shall knowingly permit no one, but
Utility's agent or persons authorized by law, to have access to Utility's pipes and
appurtenances. In the event of any loss or damage to property of Utility or to property of any
other Customer of Utility caused by or arising out of carelessness, neglect, or misuse by
Customer (including without limitation any illegal or improper cross-connections), or due to
any digging or excavation by Customer or its agents, employees, property management
I5 CC'i_'A RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
company, and/or independent contractors hired by Customer or its agents, employees and/or
property management company, the cost of making good such loss or repairing such damage
shall be paid by the responsible Customer. Demand for the responsible Customer to pay the
cost of such loss or repair of damage shall be made by Utility either (i) in a separate writing
mailed to Customer at Customer's service address or (ii) added to the responsible Customer's
bill for water or wastewater service. Water, reuse water and/or wastewater service to the
location of Customer from which such loss or damage arose may be discontinued until the
cost of such loss or damage is paid in full by Customer to Utility.
(8) Access to Premises. The duly authorized agents of Utility shall have access at
all reasonable hours to the premises of Customer for the purpose of installing, maintaining,
inspecting, or removing Utility's property of the performance under or termination of Utility's
agreement with Customer and neither Utility nor its agents shall be liable for trespass in such
instance.
(9) Billing Periods. Bills for water service will be rendered monthly, shall
become due when rendered and shall be considered as received by Customer when delivered
or mailed to the water service address or some other place mutually agreed upon. Non-
receipt of bills by Customer shall not release or diminish the obligation of Customer with
respect to payment thereof Monthly bills, and Utility's tiered rate system structure, will be
based on a 30-day billing cycle. However, both long and short billing periods are permitted
by Utility and will be adjusted as to volume allowances within Utility's tiered rate system
structure based on the ratio of actual number of days in a given billing cycle to the base 30-
day period. The adjustment ratio is then applied to the tier 1 value allowance (6 thousand
gallons, or 6 KGAL) to determine the adjusted volume allowance. For an example of a long
period adjustment, assume the actual billing period is 45 days; the tier 1 usage volume
allowance is 9 KGAL [(45/30) x 6 = 9]. The short period adjustment is calculated in the
same manner; assume the actual billing period is 15 days; the tier 1 usage volume allowance
is 3 KGAL [(15/30) x 6 = 3]. Subsequent tiers (i.e., tiers 2, 3 and 4) will also be adjusted
using a corresponding volume allowance adjustment in relationship to the base 30-day billing
cycle. Utility's Customer Service Department will develop and make available to
Customer's detailed examples of the mathematical application of this period adjustment
factor in practice.
(10) Delinquent Bills. Bills are due when rendered and become delinquent if not
paid within twenty (20) days from the invoice date. Water, reuse water and wastewater
service may then be discontinued only after a written notice of the delinquency in payment
has been mailed or presented to Customer at least five (5) working days prior to
disconnection. Water, reuse water and wastewater service shall be restored only after Utility
has received payment for all past-due bills late payment fees, and reconnect charges from
Customer. There shall be no liability of any kind against Utility for the discontinuance of
water, reuse water and wastewater service to a customer for that Customer's failure to pay the
bills on time. Partial payment of a bill of the water, reuse water and wastewater service
rendered will not be accepted by Utility, except in the case of Utility's express agreement
thereto.
16 C'CUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
(11) Non-payment of Flat-Rate Sewer Accounts. Customers with flat-rate sewer
accounts will be charged a service charge to cover the collection costs for non-payment as set
forth in Exhibit"A" attached hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.
(12) Payment of Water, Reuse Water and Wastewater Service Bills Concurrently.
When one or more of water, reuse water and wastewater service are provided by Utility,
payment of any service bill rendered by Utility to a Customer shall not be accepted by Utility
without simultaneous or concurrent payment of all service bills rendered by Utility. Utility
may discontinue water service, reuse water service and/or wastewater service to Customer's
premises for non-payment of any service bill or if all payments are not made concurrently.
Utility shall not reestablish or reconnect wastewater service, reuse water service and/or water
service until such time as all outstanding service bills and charges are paid in full.
(13) Lien to Secure Payment. In order to evidence the future responsibility for the
payment of rates, fees, and/or charges owed or to be owed to Utility under a Developer

fails to timely pay when due any installment of a special assessment or other contracted for
payment, charge or fee, which is required pursuant to any Developer Agreement, the Rate
Resolution or Utility's Service Availability Policy, then Utility may, in the discretion of the
Executive Director or his/her designee, file notice of the Authority's statutory and contractual
lien against the Customer's interest in the Property, which is served by Utility pursuant to
such Developer Agreement or other applicable agreement, with the Clerk of the Circuit Court
in the Official Records maintained for the County in which the subject Property is situated. If
the installment, payment or other charge is then past due, the Customer shall be responsible
for a lien process charge and recording fees which will be collected at the time the delinquent
balance is paid. In the event that the lien once filed is not satisfied in full within one (1)year
of the later of(i) the date of its initial filing in the Official Records or(ii) the amount secured
thereby becoming past due, then upon the approval of the Board of Supervisors of the
Authority, such lien may be foreclosed by Utility in the manner provided by applicable law.
Such lien shall secure, and the Customer shall be responsible for all interest, attorney's fees
and costs with respect to such unpaid amounts, under Chapter 94-491, Laws of Florida,
Special Acts of 1994. The Customer Service & Billing Manager of the Authority may

right to deny any application to participate in the Golden Opportunities Plan. Upon admission
to the Golden Opportunities Plan, the Customer/plan participant is provided with an
extension of twenty-one (21) days beyond the due date applicable to non-plan Customers
within which to pay their current water and/or wastewater service bill. If payment in full is
not received by the end of such twenty-one (21) day period, then a late charge will be added
to the Customer/plan participant's water, reuse water and/or wastewater service bill, and the
total delinquent account shall be assigned for collection to the Authority's customer service
department for immediate collection or disconnection. Service charges for non-payment
shall be imposed as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and hereby incorporated by

day period, then a late charge will be added to the Customer/plan participant's water, reuse
water and/or wastewater service bill, and the total delinquent account shall be assigned for
collection to the Authority's Customer Service Department for immediate collection or
disconnection. The currently adopted charges for nonpayment shall be imposed subsequent
to disconnection of service for cause, including delinquency in payment.
(16) Change of Occupancy. When a change of occupancy takes place on any
premises supplied by Utility with water, reuse water and wastewater service, written notice
thereof shall be given at the office of Utility not less than three (3) days prior to the date of
change by the outgoing Customer. The outgoing Customer shall be held responsible for all
water, reuse water and/or wastewater service rendered on such premises until such written
notice is so received by Utility and Utility has had reasonable time to discontinue the water,
reuse water and/or wastewater service. However, if such written notice has been received,
the application of such a succeeding occupant for water, reuse water and wastewater service
will automatically terminate the prior account. Customer's prepaid base facility charge may
be transferred from one service location to another, if both locations are supplied water, reuse
water and/or wastewater service by Utility, as applicable to such service(s) being provided to
the service locations. Customer's prepayment may not be transferred from one name to
another. Notwithstanding the above, Utility will accept telephone orders, for the
convenience of its Customers, to discontinue or transfer water, reuse water and wastewater
18 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
service from one service address to another and will use reasonable diligence in the execution
thereof. However, oral orders or advice shall not be deemed binding or be considered formal
notification to Utility.
(17) Unauthorized Connections. Connections to Utility's water, reuse water and
wastewater system for any purpose whatsoever are made only by employees of Utility. Any
unauthorized connections to Customer's water, reuse water or wastewater service shall be
subject to immediate discontinuance without notice. Water, reuse water and wastewater
service shall not be restored until such authorized connections have been removed and until
settlement is made in full to Utility for all water, reuse water and wastewater service
estimated by Utility to have been used by reason of such unauthorized connection. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, this provision also shall apply to illegal or improper
cross-connections of other water systems, wastewater systems, reuse systems, wells or
Customer or other third-party facilities or apparatus to Utility's water, reuse water and/or
wastewater system.

undercharged as a result of an incorrect application, the application of an incorrect rate
schedule, incorrect reading of a water meter, reuse water meter, or other similar reasons, the
amount may be credited or billed to Customer in accordance with the policies of Utility.
Utility may adjust a Customer's bill to correct errors resulting from inaccurate water and
reuse water meters. Utility shall determine a meter's accuracy based upon acceptable
accuracy limits normally adhered to by water, reuse water and/or wastewater service
providers. Utility shall refund to a Customer overcharges, or may bill a Customer for
undercharges, which have arisen as a result of a meter registering outside of acceptable
accuracy limits. Excess amounts billed to Customers in error due to inaccurate meters shall
be refunded to Customers, said refund to be limited to one-half the period since the last meter
test, said one-half period not to exceed six (6) months. Utility may refund any overcharge
resulting from an inaccurate meter if the period during which the overcharge occurred can be
reasonably and accurately ascertained. In no event shall a refund include any part of any
minimum charge. Utility may bill a Customer for any undercharge caused by an inaccurate
meter, said amount to be limited the unbilled amount for one-half the period since the last
meter test, said one-half period not to exceed six months. Utility may bill any undercharge
resulting from an inaccurate meter if the period during which the undercharge occurred can
be reasonably and accurately ascertained. In the event of a non-registering meter, a
Customer may be billed on an estimate based upon previous bills for similar usage, such
estimate based to apply only to the current billing period. Utility may bill a Customer for
unauthorized use based upon a reasonable estimate of the service taken.
(19) Customer Account Adjustment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, a Customer may appeal any bill, adjustment or refusal of Utility staff
to make an adjustment, to the Board of Supervisors or to Utility staff, pursuant to the
provisions of, as permitted by, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, Utility's
separate Customer Account Adjustment Policy, which was originally adopted by Utility's
Board of Supervisors as Resolution No. 2000/2001-04 on November 8, 2000, as the same.

SECTION 4. WATER SYSTEM RATE SCHEDULE.
(1) Schedule. The Board of Supervisors of the Authority hereby adopts the water
system rate schedule set forth herein. The rates, fees and charges in the following schedule
shall apply to each Customer of the water system beginning with the charges payable by
Customer in connection with the first reading of Customer's water meter by Utility or the first
billing by Utility after Utility acquires title to the water system. The base facility charge
shall be billed and collected in advance. The gallonage charge shall be billed and collected
in arrears. The water system monthly rate schedule is set forth on Exhibit "A", which is
attached hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.
(2) Bulk Water Rates. Bulk or wholesale water rates shall be calculated to reflect
Utility's cost of providing water to those entities entering into an agreement with Utility.
Such rates will be determined on an individual basis by Utility.
(3) Interrupted Service. Any Customer who requests that service be interrupted
for any length of time will pay the Base Facility Charge during that period of interruption.
Any Customer who attempts to circumvent this charge by closing their account at time of
temporary departure and then returning as a new Customer will be held liable for the Base
Facility Charge during the disconnected period of time. The payment of the Base Facility
Charge will be made monthly in advance.
(4) Seasonal Rate. Any Customer who requests that service be interrupted on a
temporary basis exceeding one full month will be charged a seasonal rate. The Seasonal Rate
charged will be equal to the Base Facility Charge referenced above.
(5) Terms of Payment. Bills are due and payable when rendered and become
delinquent if not paid within twenty (20) days. Service may be discontinued for nonpayment
after five (5) working days written notice. The application of this Section 4.(5) is subject to
Sections 3.(l 3) and 3.(I4), above, for approved and registered participants in the Authority's
Golden Opportunities Plan or Disability Assistance Plan.
(6) Annual Index Adjustment. The Board of Supervisors of the Authority hereby
authorizes and approves an automatic annual rate adjustment applicable to all water rates,
fees and charges for utility services as necessary to provide for increases in expenses due to
inflation or other such factors, so as to always ensure adequate net revenues from existing

adjustment factor shall be calculated based upon the net increase in the operating and
maintenance budget as follows: (i) Personnel Services; (ii) Operational Expenses; and (iii)
Operating Capital Expenses. The automatic index adjustment shall be determined on an
annual basis and shall become effective October 1st of each fiscal year. Annual index
adjustments shall not exceed the consumer price index as published by the University of
Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research (Jacksonville Region) or another price
index factor adopted by the Board.
(7) Alternative Water Supply ("AWS") Policy and Initiative. It is the intent of the
Authority to develop Alternative Water Supply ("AWS"), as defined above, in order to
ensure a sustainable supply of safe and available potable water for the Authority's current
and anticipated future customers. This AWS policy and initiative supplements the
Authority's Service Availability Policy, attached below as Attachment 1 hereto, for the
purpose of establishing a fair and equitable assessment and imposition of AWS Surcharge
and AWS Connection Charge to fund the development and implementation of AWS
infrastructure costs and expenses, as further described below. This AWS policy and
initiative by Utility is necessary to address AWS requirements from the St. Johns River
Water Management District ("SJRWMD"), the Sewanee River Water Management District
("SRWMD"), and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP"), associated
with Minimum Flows and Levels ("MFL"), and North Florida Regional Water Supply
Planning. This AWS policy and initiative is also necessary in order to put Utility in the best
position possible to research, design, and construct AWS infrastructure necessary to provide
current and anticipated future ratepayers of the Authority with a sustainable potable water
supply. Budget restraints and financial feasibility will remain key considerations at each
phase of AWS development and implementation.
The initial funding for AWS will be accomplished by the AWS Surcharge that will be
on every customer's monthly potable water bill, and the AWS Connection Charge that will
be added to every new potable water connection.
The AWS Surcharge will fairly and equitably apportion the cost of development of
AWS infrastructure over the Authority's potable water utility system ratepayers. The
funding generated from the AWS Surcharge will be segregated and restricted in the AWS
Surcharge Fund, and will only be used for AWS infrastructure costs and expenses, as further
described below.
The funding generated from the AWS Connection Charge will be segregated and
restricted in the AWS Connection Charge Fund, and will only be used for the development of
AWS infrastructure costs and expenses, as described below, attributable to and in
anticipation of the impact of new growth of the Authority's water system on demand for
potable water supply and resulting dependence on the creation and development of AWS,
over and above the demand thereof resulting from the Authority's existing potable water
customers.
A report entitled "Reclaimed Water Deficit & Augmentation of Reclaimed Water
System Projection Study on Long Term Water Supply" (December 2014, page 3), which is
on file with the Authority, and has been relied on for purposes of the initial calculation and
21 CCIL4 RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
implementation of the AWS Surcharge and the AWS Connection Charge. Costs and
expenses associated with development of AWS infrastructure includes, but is not limited to,
feasibility studies, evaluations, land acquisition, property entitlements, design, permitting,
construction, testing, and implementation of AWS for the Authority.
Utility's Capital Reserve Strategy anticipates additional needed funding to support
other AWS infrastructure project expenditures. The Authority will initiate additional
feasibility studies to further define those additional AWS infrastructure project initiatives,
which will be presented for the Authority's Board of Supervisors' consideration and action
from time to time. The future funding needs for AWS will also depend upon grant funding
that may be available and possible joint jurisdictional agency participation.
The AWS Surcharge, The AWS Connection Charge, and actual vs. estimated costs
and expenses of AWS, and specifically Storm Water Harvesting Project costs and expenses,
will be evaluated annually. A report on the development of AWS as well as adequacy or
need to change the AWS Surcharge or AWS Connection Charge will be presented to the
Board of Supervisors by July 1 each fiscal year. Any recommended changes to the AWS
Surcharge or the AWS Connection Charge will be placed in CCUA's annual budget and
presented at the Annual Public Rate Hearing for further consideration and action by the
Authority's Board of Supervisors.

incorporated by reference.
SECTION 8. METER TESTING.
If any Customer requests a test of its water meter or reuse water meter, Utility will
require a deposit to defray the cost of testing; such deposit shall not exceed the applicable
schedule of fees for specified meter sizes as set forth in attached Exhibit "A". The fee is
retained by Utility only if the test shows that the meter is registering within the acceptable
accuracy limits as established by Utility. If the meter is determined by Utility to be
registering outside of the acceptable accuracy limits, the meter test service fee will be
refunded and an adjustment is made to the bill for the proper amount of water or reuse water
consumption, as the case may be.
SECTION 9. METER REREADS AND SPECIAL READS.
Upon request of a customer, Utility shall, without charge, reread Customer's meter to
determine if the initial reading was accurate, provided that a Customer request for a meter

SECTION 11. WATER, RECLAIMED WATER AND WASTEWATER
CAPACITY CHARGES; ADOPTION; TIME OF PAYMENT; AND CONNECTION FEES
ACCOUNTS.
(1) Adoption. Utility hereby adopts and establishes a water capacity charge,
wastewater capacity charge and reclaimed water capacity charge, the purpose of which will
be to finance capital expenditures and the payment of Utility indebtedness associated with
the expansion of Utility's water and reclaimed water supply, treatment and transmission
system and the wastewater transmission, treatment, and effluent disposal system. The
capacity charges imposed by Utility shall be as set forth in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and
made a part hereof.
(2) Applicability. Except for existing Customers, or those Customers who have
previously paid connection or plant capacity charges to the previous owner of Utility, the
capacity charges set forth herein shall be paid by new Customers who request service from
Utility.
(3) Time of Payment. All water, reclaimed water and wastewater capacity
charges referenced in this section shall be paid at the time Customer and Utility execute an
agreement concerning the provisions of Utility service, or such other time as may be
specifically provided in Utility's Service Availability Policy, see Attachment 1, which is
hereby incorporated by reference.
(4) Capacity Charges Accounts. The water capacity charges collected pursuant to
this Resolution shall be deposited into an account called the "Clay County Utility Authority
Water Capacity Charges Account", reclaimed capacity charges shall be likewise deposited
into an account called the "Clay County Utility Authority Reclaimed Water Capacity
Charges Account", and the wastewater capacity charges shall be likewise deposited into an
account called the "Clay County Utility Authority Sewer Capacity Charges Account." The
water capacity charges so deposited shall be used for the purposes set forth in the Authority's
then applicable Bond Resolution(s) (herein so called) and thereafter for acquisition,
improvement and expansion of Utility's water system. The reclaimed water capacity charges
so deposited shall be used for the purposes set forth in the Bond Resolution(s) and thereafter
for acquisition, improvement and expansion of Utility's reclaimed water system. The
wastewater capacity charges so deposited shall be used for the purposes set forth in the Bond
Resolution(s) and thereafter for the acquisition, improvement and expansion of Utility's
wastewater system. The above-referenced charges may also be used for any other lawful
purpose relating to the System. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Authority
acknowledges that Florida law currently restricts the use of charges such as the Capacity
30 CUM RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
Charges to expanding the facilities and/or capacity of the System, or for the payment of debt
service on obligations issued to acquire excess plant and capacity or to build expanded plant
and capacity.
SECTION 12. DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL
CONNECTION FACTORS FOR WATER, REUSE WATER AND WASTEWATER
SERVICES.
(1) For purposes of calculating and imposing the water, reuse water and
wastewater capacity charge provided for herein, the ERC factor for any particular connection
shall be calculated and imposed in the manner as provided in the Commercial ERC Factors
Table, see Attachment 3, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
(2) The "total equivalent residential connection value" for an establishment shall
be calculated by multiplying the ERC factor listed above by the number of units, and shall be
rounded up to the nearest 0.5 ERC factor.
(3) One (1) equivalent residential connection ("ERC") shall, for the purposes of
this Section, have an assigned value of 1.00. For wastewater service capacity, one (1) ERC is
hereby established and determined to be equal to a flow of 311 gallons per day, average
annual basis. For water service capacity, one (1) ERC is hereby established and determined
to be equal to a flow of 450 gallons per day, average annual basis. For reuse water service
capacity, one (1) ERC is hereby established and determined to be equal to a flow of 275
gallons per day, average annual basis.
(4) For all establishments not listed above, the total wastewater ERC value for
wastewater service capacity shall be determined by multiplying the number of fixture units,
as published in the Standard Plumbing Code, by sixteen (16), and then dividing that
numerator by 311. The wastewater capacity charge shall be determined by multiplying the
total ERC value by the wastewater capacity charge per ERC.
(5) For all establishments not listed above, the total water ERC value for water
service capacity shall be determined by multiplying the number of fixture units, as published
in the Standard Plumbing Code, by twenty-four (24), and then dividing that numerator by
450. The water capacity charge shall be determined by multiplying the total ERC value by
the water capacity charge per ERC.
(6) For all establishments not listed above, the total reclaimed water ERC value
for reclaimed water service capacity shall be determined by dividing the estimated average
daily usage per gallon of reclaimed water determined on an annualized basis for such
establishment, by a denominator of 275. The reclaimed water capacity charge shall be
determined by multiplying the total ERC value by the reclaimed water capacity charge per
ERC.
SECTION 13. ALLOCATION OF WATER, RECLAIMED WATER AND
WASTEWATER SERVICE CAPACITY.
31 CC'UA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
(1) No new water, reclaimed water and/or wastewater service capacity shall be
sold until application therefore is received by Utility, or a Developer Agreement or other
appropriate written contractual agreement has been entered into between the Applicant and
Utility, and the appropriate capacity charges received. Utility may require all information on
said application or agreement that it deems reasonable and necessary, and may reject
applications it determines incomplete. Any application or agreement for water, reclaimed
water and/or wastewater capacity shall contain a legal description of the land constituting the
Property to be served. The legal description shall include only those lands owned or
controlled by the Applicant for which the water, reclaimed water and/or wastewater service is
requested.
(2) Utility adopts and incorporates herein by reference the Service Availability
Policy, and the charges contained therein, set forth as Attachment 1, and the charges
contained therein, which policy shall govern the relationship between Utility and Developers
or others wishing to connect to the System.
32 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-0/
SECTION 14. ABNORMAL STRENGTH WASTE SURCHARGE FACTOR.
For those Customers which Utility has agreed to serve and either Customer or Utility
has determined that the strength of the sewage is greater than 300 parts per million ("ppm")
of biochemical oxygen demand ("BOD") or chemical oxygen demand ("COD"), or total
suspended solids ("TSS"), then an abnormal strength surcharge will be applied to the
monthly bill. Biochemical oxygen demand or "BOD" means the quantity of oxygen in the
biochemical oxidation of the organic matter in the wastewater under standard laboratory
procedures in five (5) days at twenty degrees centigrade (20 degrees C), expressed in
milligrams per liter. The BOD shall be determined in accordance with procedures set forth in
the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 18th Edition, as the
same may be amended or updated by subsequent editions. The greater concentration of
either BOD or COD will be used in the surcharge calculation, but not both. The surcharge
factor is calculated in the following manner:
Average concentration BOD plus average concentration TSS divided by 600.
Multiply the quotient by the wastewater consumption charge to account for
the higher BOD and TSS concentrations.
Example:
[(x+y)/600]*a=Adjusted Wastewater Consumption Charge
Where:
x=Average concentration, BOD or COD
y=Average concentration, TSS
a=Normal wastewater consumption charge.
SECTION 15. FIRE HYDRANT METER POLICY AND PROCEDURES.
The Board of Supervisors for Utility hereby adopt and enact the rates, fees and
charges applicable to fire hydrant meter usage, which policy and procedures are adopted and
made a part of Utility's Service Availability Policy. The Authority's Fire Hydrant Meter
Policy and Procedures are on file with the Recording Secretary for the Authority and are
available for review during normal working hours of the Authority. The rates, fees and
charges applicable to that policy and those procedures are attached hereto as Attachment 2

Attachment 1
CLAY COUNTY UTILITY AUTHORITY
SERVICE AVAILABILITY POLICY
This Service Availability Policy of the Clay County Utility Authority is attached to,
and made a part of, the Rate Resolution of the Authority, Resolution No. 2020/2021-01. All
terms not otherwise defined in this Attachment 1 shall have the same meaning as assigned to
them in the Rate Resolution.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
It is Utility's intention to provide service throughout its service area as requested,
providing that it is economically feasible to do so.
2. AVAILABILITY
A. Water, reuse water and wastewater service will be made available by Utility
throughout Utility's service territory, subject to any outstanding interlocal
agreements or other contracts or franchises awarded by Utility to third parties.
Utility will evaluate each request for service as to its feasibility. If Utility
determines that it is not economically feasible to serve such territory in
accordance with its Rate Resolution and this Service Availability Policy, and
if the parties agree, Utility will prepare a special agreement setting forth
terms, outside the scope of Utility's Service Availability Policy, by which it
can provide service, either through bulk service or some other arrangement.
The reasonable cost of preparation of such special agreement shall be
reimbursed to Utility from the Applicant seeking service.
B. Certain areas within Utility's service territory may have developed in whole
or in part without central water, wastewater and/or reuse water service, and
are currently using private wells and septic tanks. If such unserved area is
located in the vicinity of existing Utility appurtenances, so that it is
economically feasible to extend service to such area, application may be made
for service by an affected owner or purchaser under a pending contract of sale
or contract for deed to such area, pursuant to Utility's In-Fill Projects Fund
Policy Statement formally adopted, amended and restated by the Board of
Supervisors for the Authority on May 4, 1999, in Resolution No. 1998/1999-
09, which, as may be amended from time to time, is available for review at
Utility office and which is hereby incorporated by reference. Customers
connecting to Utility's water, wastewater and/or reuse water system(s)
pursuant to such In-Fill Projects Fund Policy shall be required to pay the
costs, fees, charges and rates set forth in Utility's then current Rate
Resolution, to comply with the then current In-Fill Projects Fund Policy
Statement, and also pay Utility's carrying costs, interest, fees, charges, and
rates as provided for in the then current In-Fill Projects Fund Policy
Statement.
36 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
C. The Middleburg Service Area of Utility, as defined and established by the
Board of Supervisors for Utility in Resolution No. 1998/1999-10, which is
available for review at Utility office and which is hereby incorporated by
reference, has been identified by Utility for a special expenditure of funds for
utility infrastructure development and plant construction. Customers
connecting to Utility's water, wastewater and/or reuse water system(s) within
the Middleburg Service Area shall be required to pay the costs, fees, charges
and rates set forth in Utility's then current Rate Resolution, to comply with the
requirements of Resolution No. 1998/1999-10, as amended, and also pay
Utility's prorated infrastructure development costs, carrying costs, interest,
fees, charges, and rates as provided for in Resolution No. 1998/1999-10, as
amended. For the current fiscal year, the carrying charge for the Middleburg
Service Area Policy and the Infill Policy and the financing charge for the
same each are set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Also, the current fiscal year distribution and collection infrastructure charge
per acre for the Middleburg Service Area for water and for wastewater are set
forth in Exhibit"A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF UTILITY
It shall be Utility's obligation to analyze, evaluate, and respond to all requests for
extension of its services where extensions to specific locations are requested. Once the
Applicant has provided Utility all of the information that is necessary for Utility to evaluate
the extension of service, it shall be Utility's obligation to provide a firm price to the
Applicant for such service extension including construction cost estimates, where applicable,
connection or plant capacity charges, and any other approved charges for such service
extensions.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF DEVELOPER
It shall be the Applicant's obligation to provide Utility with all of the information
Utility needs in order to evaluate the feasibility and cost of providing service. Such
information shall include, but not be limited to, (1) location of project, (2) survey of property,
(3) complete plans and specifications for project, including drainage plans, (4) flow data, (5)
type of facilities to be installed, (6) metering arrangement, (7) size of project, (8) description
of waste to be discharged into Utility's wastewater system, including chemical analysis of
such wastewater if it is other than domestic wastewater, (9) complete legal names of
Applicant and/or Owner, including addresses, type of business entity, and state in which said
entity was created, (10) estimated date that service is needed, (11) type of services requested,
(12) landscape irrigation watering plan, (13) reuse facilities design, and (14) internal fire
flow requirements, etc.
It shall be the Applicant's and Utility's responsibility to execute all water, reuse water
and wastewater agreements, contracts, and easements which are necessary in order for Utility
to provide service to the Applicant's property and/or project. For purposes of illustration and
not limitation, the Applicant and Utility shall be required to execute, in accordance with
Utility's Resolution No. 1997/1998-08, which, as the same may be amended from time to
time, is available for review at Utility office and is hereby incorporated by reference, (i) a
37 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
letter agreement in the form required by the Executive Director or his/her designee, prior to
Utility executing any notification or application for a Florida Department of Environmental
Protection permit for the construction or extension of water and/or wastewater facilities with
respect to the Applicant's project, and (ii) a Developer Agreement in the form prescribed by
the Executive Director of Utility or his/her designee, and the Applicant shall pay to Utility all
of the appropriate fees and charges set forth in such Developer Agreement, prior to the
commencement of construction of the water, reuse water and/or wastewater facilities to be
owned and maintained by Utility, for the project. Utility shall not be obligated to provide
service to an Applicant that fails to timely satisfy the foregoing conditions for service.
5. ON-SITE FACILITIES
It shall be the Applicant's responsibility to pay the entire cost of the on-site water,
reuse water and/or wastewater facilities that are necessary to provide service to Applicant's
development. On-site facilities are those located within the property for which the Applicant
is requesting service. Such on-site facilities shall include the facilities which are necessary to
provide for sound engineering design, construction, and operation of the System, and/or to
accommodate Utility's Master Plan which may require each development to extend the
Master Planned mains across their property and to provide stubs to adjacent properties, as
necessary, to loop service, provide redundancy of service, and/or ensure that service can be
made available to adjacent properties which may be in the future accepted and incorporated
for service into the System by Utility. Such on-site facilities that Utility accepts for
ownership and maintenance shall be donated to Utility by the property/project owner within a
defined easement area and/or fee ownership parcel granted to Utility. If on-site temporary
pump stations or backflow prevention devices are required, they shall be paid for 100% by
the Applicant, without any provision for refund.
6. OFF-SITE FACILITIES
Off-site facilities are those located outside the property for which the Applicant is
requesting service which are necessary to connect and transmit water, reuse water or
wastewater to or from Utility's facilities. Where off-site extensions are required in order to
service Applicant's development and such off-site mains will be used strictly for the
Applicant's development, then the total cost of such off-site extension shall be paid for
entirely by the Applicant, and if Utility agrees to accept them for ownership and
maintenance, the property/project owner shall donate them to Utility. In such situations,
there will be no refundable agreement. This provision shall not preclude Utility from
connecting to such systems for the purpose of master planning looped service to the area.
7. CONSTRUCTION OF OVERSIZED FACILITIES
Where pump stations, on-site force mains, and other facilities are master planned to
serve substantial developments other than that required for the Applicant requesting service,
then such Applicant, who requests service, may be required to pay the entire cost of the
oversized facilities. In such event the area to be serviced by such oversized facilities will be
identified and a basis for equitable allocation of the cost will be established. The Applicant,
who advances the cost of such facilities, will be refunded without interest as other
38 CC/ A RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
developments pay their pro rata share of the oversized facilities in accordance with the
provisions of the "Refundable Advances" section in Paragraph 8 herein.
Where off-site extensions are required in order to service Applicant's development
and such off-site mains are sized so that they can be utilized by other properties not owned
by the Applicant, then the Applicant, who is requesting service, may be required by Utility to
front the fixed charge quotation of Utility or the contract cost of Applicant's contractor for
such mains. In such event, Utility and Applicant will enter into a refundable agreement, as
described in Paragraph 8 herein.
Should situations arise where it is more practical for Utility to advance the excess
fixed charge quotation of Utility or the contract cost of Applicant's contractor of permanent
pump stations, force mains, and other oversized facilities, and where such property to be
served by the oversized facilities would normally be required to pay all such charges for the
on-site and off-site mains, then in those situations, Utility will be allowed to prorate such
charges on an equitable basis over the property/properties to be served by such facilities from
those properties benefiting from same. Utility shall not have any obligation to advance such
charge, however, it is possible that areas exist that it would not be economically feasible to
service on any other basis due to the small size of the project involved.
8. REFUNDABLE ADVANCES
If an Applicant advances the charges for certain off-site extensions and oversized
facilities which will benefit other properties with excess available capacities, Utility shall
enter into a refundable agreement with the Applicant for the value of such excess capacity
charges. This agreement shall carry a term of ten (10) years without interest, subject to
extension for an additional ten (10) year term without interest, if the Applicant which is
subject to such a refundable agreement, or its successors and assigns, applies writing
delivered to the Executive Director of the Authority prior to the expiration of the initial ten
(10) year term for an extension of the term of such refundable agreement. If the
property/properties, which are the subject of collection for refund, does/do not develop prior
to the later of the expiration of(i) the initial ten (10)year term of the refundable agreement or
(ii), as applicable, the ten (10) year extension term thereof, if such agreement has been so
extended as called for in the preceding sentence, then no further refund(s) will be due. An
equitable basis for allocation of the excess charges that is advanced by the Applicant will be
established. As subsequent applicants connect to the service provided by such facilities, their
pro rata share of the charges for such facilities will be assessed to them and, when collected,
will be refunded to the original Applicant who advanced the charges for such facilities. Such
refunds will be made until such time as the original Applicant who advanced the charges for
the facilities has received 100% of the excessive charges that he or she originally incurred.
9. SYSTEM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
All extensions to Utility's system shall be designed and constructed in accordance
with Utility's standard specifications and procedures.
It shall be Utility's right, at the Applicant's expense, to construct and/or approve the
construction of the on-site installations that will be owned and maintained by Utility. It shall
39 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-0/
also be Utility's right to review all plans and specifications for connections to its system to
ensure that Utility's design standards are met and to ensure that service to existing Customers
is not unduly and unnecessarily interrupted. Developer shall pay a fee to compensate Utility
for the time required to review such plans and specifications. Utility reserves the right to
approve Applicant's contractor prior to construction of any on-site or off-site facilities, which
contractor must, at a minimum, hold a license from the State of Florida for underground
construction and demonstrate acceptable experience in the field.
10. DESIGN BY INDEPENDENT ENGINEERS
All extensions to Utility's System that require permits shall be designed by a State of
Florida Licensed Engineer ("Engineer"). All designs shall be coordinated to coincide with
Utility's Master Plan for service to the area. All plans and specifications shall be stamped
approved and accepted via written permit by Utility prior to commencement of any
construction. In the event of any dispute as to the final approved engineering design of any
facilities to be accepted and incorporated into Utility's System, Utility's Chief Engineer, or
his/her designee, shall have final approval authority.
11. CUSTOMER CONNECTION CHARGE (TAP-IN)
Charges in this section shall be as defined in Section 2(4) of the Rate Resolution. The
charge for Utility construction costs for tapping into a line to connect service is an amount
equal to Utility's estimate of the approximate cost to design, permit and construct a
connection point to Utility's existing facilities and extension of such facilities to Customer's
property utilizing Utility's own staff Such extensions may be potable water, reclaimed water
or wastewater facilities. The availability of Utility's construction personnel to accomplish any
particular job is not guaranteed and is subject to scheduling. Alternatively, Developer may
employee an Engineer to design and permit such extension and hire a Florida Licensed
Underground Utility Contractor to provide the installation. In such event, Developer shall
comply with all of Utility's standard requirements, including, but not limited to, design,
permitting, construction, property transfers to Utility, Warranty, Maintenance Security Bond,
as-built drawings, easements, etc.

installation of other service and the charges associated with tapping into the water main. To
the extent a service installation is required in order to provide Customer utility service, the
charges for such installation, including the installation of the water meter will be based on the
estimated cost of the installation, regardless of meter size. In no event will such charge be
less than the meter installation charges shown above. The water meter installation charges,
and any such additional charges, are due and payable at the time Customer makes an
application for service.
13. REUSE WATER METER INSTALLATION
40 C'CUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
The Developer or each Applicant shall be charged for the reuse water meter and for
installation of the reuse water meter as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a
part hereof Such charges only include the installation of the meter and stub-out pipe from
the meter, and do not include any other charges associated with the installation of other
service and the charges associated with tapping into the water main. To the extent a service
installation is required in order to provide Customer utility service, the charges for such
installation, including the installation of the reuse water meter will be based on the estimated
cost of the installation, regardless of meter size. In no event will such charge be less than the
meter installation charges shown above. The reuse water meter installation charges, and any
such additional charges, are due and payable at the time Customer makes an application for
service.
14. CUSTOMER INSTALLATION(CUSTOMER MAINTAINED LINES)
The Applicant shall be required to own and maintain all facilities that are installed by
it or its plumbers on Customer side of the point of delivery. Such facilities shall also include
all fire flow detection devices and backflow prevention devices whether installed by Utility
or by Applicant.
15. INSPECTIONS
Utility does not require inspections at the present time. However, any damage to
Utility's system due to a faulty connection shall be the responsibility of Customer and
property owner (if they are not the same) when and if such faulty connections are found.
Customer or property owner shall be required to pay Utility the actual cost of any inspections
required as a result of such problems.
16. TRANSFER OF CONTRIBUTED PROPERTY -BILLS OF SALE
Once Utility initiates permanent service, unless the parties agree to the contrary, then
Utility's water, reuse water and wastewater agreement automatically activates the transfer of
title to Utility of the on-site and off-site facilities that Applicant has paid for and which are
required to be donated to Utility.
17. COST RECORDS AND "AS-BUILT SURVEY PLANS"
All cost records pertaining to the cost of the water, reuse water and sewer facilities
donated to Utility, shall be provided to Utility.

licensed underground utility contractor, Utility will require that Applicant's contractor
provide Utility "As-built Survey Plans" (i.e., as-built survey) per Utility's As-built
Specifications Standards Manual in the form as most recently adopted by Utility, which is on
file for review during normal businesshours with the Recording Secretary of the Utility. The
Developer or Applicant shall be responsible for the costs to review and process the "As-built
Survey Plans."
41 CCUII RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-0/
18. EASEMENTS AND RIGHT-OF-WAYS
It shall be the Applicant's responsibility to provide all easements and right-of-ways to
Utility that are necessary for Utility to have proper access to its facilities for maintenance and
repair purposes. Where metes and bounds legal descriptions are required by the
Applicant/property owner, in situations where Utility would normally accept blanket
easements, then the cost of the preparation of such legal description shall be that of the
Applicant/property owner.
19. ACCEPTANCE OF FACILITIES AND MAINTENANCE BOND
Utility reserves the right to require that all facilities which are to be connected to its
system be acceptable to Utility before permanent water, reuse water and/or sewer service will
be provided. In addition, Utility reserves the right to require proof that all water, reuse water
and sewer facilities, which are accepted by Utility for ownership and maintenance, have been
paid for in full by the Applicant/property owner and the title to same is clear of all
encumbrances. The Applicant/property owner shall also provide to Utility, at the
Applicant/property owner's sole expense, such maintenance bond or other form of security

protect and indemnify Utility against any loss, damage, costs, claims, debts or demands by
reason of defects, latent or otherwise, in the system to be and remain in effect for two (2)
years from the date of the system acceptance by Utility.
20. DEVELOPER AGREEMENTS
Utility requires that a water, reuse water and/or wastewater agreement be executed for
all extensions of service to new Customers which require extension of and/or alterations to
Utility's existing facilities in order to initiate such services. If an existing Customer is
modifying their current service under a pre-existing Developer Agreement with Utility, or
under a similar service agreement with a predecessor service provider to Utility, then the
Executive Director or his/her designee shall have the authority to require that the entire
Customer's service be documented and amended and restated in a current Developer
Agreement with the Customer, confirming the existing service, and providing for the
expanded or modified service and for payment of all fees, rates and charges in connection
with such expanded or modified service, prior to effecting the expansion or modification of
that customer service. The purpose of this provision is to attempt to ensure that all
Customers of Utility are legally obligated to Utility under current, consistent Developer
Agreements, taking into account applicable project specific provisions.

prescribed by the Executive Director of Utility, or his/her designee, pursuant to Resolution
No. 1998/1999-11, as amended, and shall include such additional and further provisions
which the Executive Director or his/her designee shall, in their sole discretion, be required to
fully protect the rights of Utility and enhance the efficient operation of Utility with minimum
exposure to third party tort and contractual liability, again taking into account applicable
project specific provisions.
21. FACILITIES INSTALLED OR FINANCED BY UTILITY
42 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
Where Utility has installed or financed the installation of water, reuse water and/or
wastewater facilities at its expense, and it is not practical to maintain cost records for
determination of the pro rata share of the charges allocable to an applicant, Utility shall be
allowed to charge the Applicant a front footage charge representing the reasonable cost to
cover the Applicant's fair pro rata share of the original value of the mains serving the
Applicant's property. In the event such facility is a service lateral to applicant's property,
then Customer will be assessed a charge based on Utility's estimate of the original value of
the service line installation.
22. PRIVATE FIRE PROTECTION CHARGE
The Applicant may request to have direct fire main stubs to their facilities for
purposes of internal fire sprinkler system and may request Utility guarantee the availability
of a specified G.P.M. of flow for fire protection. In such instances where the existing mains
are capable of carrying the fire flow requested, the Applicant shall pay to Utility the Private
Fire Protection charge set forth in the Rate Resolution then in effect, for the purpose of
assisting Utility in providing the excess reserve plant capacities required for the fire flow to
the Applicant's property. In instances where the existing mains are not capable of carrying
the fire flow requested, then Utility shall provide an estimate of the charges to alter the
existing fire mains to accommodate the Applicant's fire flow requirement and the charges for
such alterations shall be reimbursed by the Applicant in addition to the Private Fire
Protection Charge.
23. INSPECTION OF FACILITIES TO BE OWNED BY UTILITY
Where facilities which are to be owned by Utility are constructed by an outside
contractor, Utility reserves the right to have an inspector on the job at all times during all
phases of construction in which case it shall be the applicant's responsibility to reimburse
Utility for the estimated cost of such inspections, including all overhead associated with
same.
24. DESIGN OF FACILITIES TO BE OWNED BY UTILITY

25. SEPTAGE DISPOSAL
The Authority will accept only domestic septic wastes from licensed, commercial
carriers of septage. Septage carriers must apply in advance for permission to use the
Authority's facilities, and the Authority staff shall not grant permission to any carrier to use
the Authority's wastewater treatment facilities if such carrier or its principal(s) have a
demonstrated history of illegal or inappropriate dumping or deposit of industrial wastes,
pollutants or contaminants. Any denials by staff may be appealed by the septage carrier to
the Board of Supervisors.
The Authority reserves the right to collect septage samples periodically to evaluate
the various pollutants including, but not limited to, Biochemical Oxygen Demand ("BOD")
and Total Suspended Solids ("TSS"). Should test results disclose chemical contents that may
be detrimental to the Authority's bacteriological treatment process and/or effluent disposal
limitations then such disposal, once identified, will no longer be accepted. If it becomes
evident that policing unauthorized disposal is not practical, then the problems will be
presented to the Board of Supervisors of the Authority for formal action with regard to
continuation of such service. Septage carriers must provide the Authority with a manifest
indicating the source and quantity of wastes introduced into the wastewater treatment system.
Septage carriers will also be responsible for laboratory costs incurred by the Authority to
evaluate the wastes being introduced into the treatment system. Septage carriers will further
be responsible for removing initial screenings from the strainer at the point of discharge. The
solids will be deposited in a container supplied by the Authority.

28. DEFERRAL AND FINANCING OF FEES, CHARGES AND COSTS
Utility is prohibited from providing free service, and shall impose uniform rates, fees
and charges for each user of the same class. However, the Board of Supervisors for Utility
may, from time to time, extend credit or defer collection of the fees, charges and costs
provided for herein and under the Rate Resolution, as follows:
A. Hardship Deferrals.
Hardship deferral or financing of charges, fees and cost that are payable or
reimbursable to Utility may be considered on a case by case basis for residential
properties, if the Applicant will be occupying such property as their primary
residence and if the Applicant, considering all sources of income and all assets owned
by the members of the Applicant's household, also meets the poverty level income
and asset guidelines then utilized by Clay County, Florida, in the administration of
the County's social service program and for the County's solid waste disposal
assessment hardship assistance.
B. Other Deferrals.
Other deferral or financing of charges, fees and costs that are payable or reimbursable
to Utility may be considered on a case-by-case basis, when the Applicant's
circumstances, as documented to Utility, are such that the payment of charges, fees
and costs to Utility when due hereunder or under the Rate Resolution is not practical
or reasonable, and when any of the following circumstances exist:
i. Applicant is a non-profit corporation, providing low-income housing.
ii. Applicant's property to be served by Utility is within a current or
former grant area, which then or in the past has received federal or
state payments to upgrade central water, wastewater or reuse system(s)
serving the area in which the subject property is located.
iii. The property or intended use of the property is unusual or irregular,
such that the immediate payment of Utility's charges, fees and cost
reimbursements in strict accordance with the terms of the Rate
Resolution or this Service Availability Policy does not result in a fair
burden on Applicant for connecting to Utility's system(s).
iv. There is a special environmental benefit accruing from connecting the
property to Utility's system(s).
v. There is available to Utility third-party financing, payments, incentives
or other revenue in consideration of Utility providing the immediate
connection.
vi. Other circumstances exist which, in consideration of the public trust
held by the Board of Supervisors of Utility, make it in the best interest
45 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
of Utility and its ratepayers to defer or finance the collection of such
charges, fees and reimbursable costs required to be paid to Utility for
connection of service.
In any instance in which a deferral or the financing of charges, fees and reimbursable
costs is approved, the Board of Supervisors shall adopt as a part of its action and record,
findings which support the existence of a public benefit accruing to Utility and its ratepayers
from the extension of credit by deferral or financing of charges, fees or reimbursable costs, or
any of them, in that instance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Board of
Supervisors shall not discriminate in the approving or disapproving of any such requested
deferral or financing of charges, fees and reimbursable costs, based on the race, ethnic origin,
religious affiliation, marital status, gender or age of the Applicant.
Any charges, fees or reimbursable costs payable to Utility which are deferred or
financed pursuant hereto shall be secured by a lien against the subject property, and shall be
repaid on such terms and conditions as approved by the Board of Supervisors. In the event
that any information provided or representations made to the Board of Supervisors in a
successful application for deferral or financing is later shown to be materially false or
misleading, then the Board of Supervisors, in its sole discretion, may accelerate all deferred
or financed charges, fees and costs, and the same shall by payable by the Applicant, its
successors and assigns as to the subject property, upon demand by the Board of Supervisors.
29. ADDITIONAL COSTS OF PROVIDING SERVICE.
In the event that an Applicant, or an Applicant's predecessor in interest with respect
to a property, increases the cost of providing service to that property by refusing to cooperate
with Utility in timely master planning for water, wastewater, and/or reuse water service(s) to
such property; by refusing to grant easements for utility purposes across the property
designed to serve that property and adjacent property which is to be served by Utility; by
refusing to enter into a Developer Agreement in sufficient time for Utility to extend service
to the Applicant's property in a cost efficient manner; by negotiating for service, or entering
into agreements for service, with unfranchised water, wastewater, and/or reuse water utility
providers within Utility's geographic jurisdictional limits; or by acting in any other manner
inconsistent with Utility's policies and practices, including those set forth in the Rate
Resolution and this Service Availability Policy, then such Applicant, and its successors in
interest with respect to such property, or any portion(s) thereof, shall be responsible for the
increased cost and expense of Utility ultimately providing service to such property, including
without limitation, the cost of condemnation of easements, cost of litigation, increased cost of
emergency or expedited construction of Utility's facilities, increased professional fees and
expenses, and other reasonable costs and expenses of Utility, which are reasonably
attributable to the action of the Applicant, or the Applicant's predecessor(s) in interest as to
such property. If such increased costs and expenses are fairly allocable to more than one
such property, then the total increased cost and expenses shall be allocated among all of the
properties,affected.
30. FLEX RENTAL SPACE DEVELOPMENTS.
46 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
Determination of an Applicant's or Customer's intended use of a particular service
location is necessary for Utility to accurately compute and apply the ERCs applicable to that
service location, and to determine the metering requirements for that service location. Multi-
tenant structures typically require separate utility facilities and metering for each unit capable
of being leased. However, the Board of Utility desires to implement a new approach in
dealing with undetermined use speculative office, commercial, industrial and/or retail space
developed at a single service location, which may require more than one meter ("Flex
Space"), which Flex Space is sought to be metered or modified by an Applicant or Customer
after October 1, 2005. For new or modified Flex Space, Utility shall continue to require
individual meters and plumbing design for the maximum number of units based on what the
Applicant or Customer reasonably believes to be the smallest space that will be capable of
being leased. The Applicant or Customer then shall be given the option to pay for all meters
with the Developer Agreement and install all the meters in advance when service location is
ready for the first meter. If all meters are installed and paid for in advance as described
above, then Utility would make any appropriate adjustments once the initial occupancy and
leasing configuration for the service location is established, and would remove and refund
any excess meters at that time. However, if the Applicant or Customer elects the option of
only paying in advance for one meter, and paying for supplemental meters as occupants or
tenants move in to the service location, then Utility shall impose an extra service charge per
event, applicable each time a supplemental Developer Agreement is to be prepared to add an
additional meter or a block of meters. Utility shall continue to collect capacity charges in
advance, based on the least intensive assessment of those charges. If the tenants or occupants
for the service location, and their respective intended uses, are not known upfront, then a
supplemental Developer Agreement will be prepared for each adjustment to the service
location's overall usage to true up the impact of the service location on Utility System, and
additional charges shall be imposed by Utility as the tenants or occupants come online at that
service location. An additional service charge shall be assessed with each supplemental
Developer Agreement. If a supplemental Developer Agreement covers both the assessment
of additional capacity charges and additional meters, then only one additional service charge
will be assessed.
In addition to the foregoing, if an Applicant or Customer has pre-planned and
determined which meter will serve each lease space or unit of the Flex Space for the service
location, and provides that information to Utility, then Utility's staff will audit and verify
which meter serves each individual unit of the service location. This additional audit will be
done in one trip for all meters at no additional charge. However, for each additional trip that,
in Utility's judgment, is necessary to audit the meter/rental unit relationship, a service charge
per trip shall be assessed. Should the audit take over three quarters of an hour, then each
extra hour or portion thereof shall be charged per hour.
For existing Flex Space which is master metered, Utility will attempt to be notified by
appropriate county building department each time a commercial unit changes names for
electric service. Utility staff shall determine if the service address location is a master
metered unit, and if so, Utility will send the Industrial Pretreatment Survey and other
questionnaires to the tenant, occupant or the service location owner for completion, based on
the information available to Utility. Based on the returned Industrial Pretreatment Survey,
Utility will advise the service location owner what, if any, special pretreatment requirements
will be assessed. If necessary to ensure compliance, the service location owner will be
47 CUM RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
notified of the date that Utility's service to the service location will be discontinued to the
master meter, if the information requested is not received by Utility.
In accordance with Utility's Water Conservation Policy on file with the St. Johns
River Water Management District, Utility is not allowed to let Developers use master meters
to meter more than one tenant or separate business. At any time during the course of Utility
providing service to any new service location after October 1, 2005, Utility shall have the
right to inspect and audit the number of separate occupants and tenants per meter. When this
inspection occurs, if no violation of this policy is found, there will be no charge for the
inspection. However, for each violation that is found, a charge of$500.00 will be assessed to
recover the cost of this administrative inspection program. In addition, if the Applicant or
Customer is not in compliance, the Applicant or Customer will be given ninety (90) days to
correct the metering problem, at the Applicant or Customer's expense. Failure to timely
comply with that notice will authorize Utility to discontinue service to the service location's
master metered service, until such time as compliance with all of Utility's policies are
achieved by the Applicant or Customer for that service location.
31. RESIDENTIAL RECLAIMED WATER SYSTEM DEMAND MANAGEMENT
In an effort to manage costs for the best benefit to all reclaimed Customers due to (i)
the extreme peak demands that can be created when multiple irrigation systems are activated
at the same time and (ii) the unreasonable cost of the oversized facilities required to meet that
demand, it is necessary that demand management practices be initiated. In this regard, the
following demand management practices shall be followed:
A. This policy applies to established lawns only. Irrigation of new landscape will be
allowed at any time on any day for the initial thirty (30) days and every other day
for the next thirty (30) days for a total of one sixty (60) day period, provided that
the irrigation is limited to the minimum amount necessary for establishment'.
B. Even numbered addresses shall water on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
C. Odd numbered addresses shall water on Tuesday, Thursday, and either Saturday
or Sunday.
D. If a Customer chooses to water between the hours of 2:00 AM — 7:00 AM, then
the Customer shall adhere to the following watering schedule, based on the first
letter of the Customer's last name:
First letter of last name Preferred Watering Time
A through F 2:00 AM—3:l5 AM
G through L 3:15 AM—4:30 AM
M through P 4:30 AM—5:45 AM
Q through Z 5:45 AM—7:00 AM
1 Language retrieved from the St.Johns River Water Management District website: !"4
http://sjrwmd.com/rule/rule_FAQs.html
48 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-0i
Watering outside of the 2:00 AM — 7:00 AM timeframe is unrestricted by the Authority,
however, the St. Johns River Water Management District may impose restrictions from time
to time. Watering between the hours of 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM is always discouraged by the
St. Johns River Water Management District.
All Authority approved reclaimed irrigation contractors shall be trained on these
demand management criteria and are required to adhere to this criterion when setting single
family residential reclaimed irrigation system timers served by the Authority's System.
Authority staff shall be authorized to inspect and enforce this demand management
criterion and as a last resort, may discontinue reclaimed water service to those violating these
demand management requirements.
This policy and management program applies only to single family reclaimed
irrigation systems. General service reclaimed irrigation systems may be required by
agreement to adhere to specifically designed demand management practices.
32. ADJUSTMENT FOR NEWLY SODDED LAWNS
The Authority provides a separate adjustment for Customers who have new sod
installed as their lawn on their property or leasehold. The adjustment for new sod is limited
to no more than once every five (5) years per Customer. The Customer must provide proof
of the newly sodded lawn and Authority staff must schedule a field audit with the Customer
to verify that the Customer is not overwatering the newly sodded lawn. If eligible based on
the Authority's verification, then the Customer would receive an adjustment based on a bill
calculated with usage rates capped at tier 2 rates. The Customer's adjusted bill would only
apply to the first thirty (30) days after the new sod is installed. The volume of water related
to irrigating the new sod would not be subject to sewer charges for that initial thirty (30) day
period.
33. SWIMMING POOL CREDIT FOR WASTEWATER(I.E., SEWER) USAGE
The Authority shall offer a pool credit to Customers (both residential and general
service) in good standing.
Any metered Customer with water service to whom wastewater (i.e., sewer) charges are
regularly rendered and through whose meter a swimming pool receives water from the
Authority's water system and whose pool capacity has been documented to the Authority by
the pool contractor, builder or homeowner, shall have the right under certain circumstances,
to fill the pool without application of the wastewater charge to the quantity of water used to
fill the pool and excess usage from that pool fill shall be at tier 2. These circumstances
include initial pool construction and major pool maintenance projects that require pool
draining. The right to fill the pool without wastewater flow charges and with excess usage
charges at tier 2 level, may be exercised by the Customer making a written request using the
forms available from the Authority. The written request shall include such documented proof
as required and satisfactory to the Authority, of the pool's capacity in gallons. The written
request shall also include:
49 CCUA RESOLUTION NO.2020/2021-01
A. Affidavit (on the form provided by the Authority), properly executed by the
Customer and builder;
B. A copy of the building permit from the Clay County Building and Zoning
Department (or equivalent building and zoning department depending on the
location of the Customer's property being served by the Authority) for a new
pool, or a copy of a maintenance agreement requiring the draining of an
existing pool; and
C. Water meter readings both immediately before and after the filling of the pool,
with dates and times of readings noted. If the builder or Customer is not
comfortable with obtaining the meter readings, Authority personnel will
provide the service for the current advertised service charge. Customer will
be responsible for any damages to the Authority's meter box, meter and
reading devices if the Customer damages Authority property while obtaining
these readings.
All written requests shall be furnished to the Authority no later than thirty (30) days after
completion of the filling. Requests will not be reviewed for consideration if all of the
outlined items above are not included. Upon receipt of a proper written request, the
Authority shall issue an appropriate credit to the Customer's account.
34. DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT — START-UP UTILITIES —
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR MINIMUM START UP COST
In areas where new Development of Regional Impact ("DRI") are approved and
construction of new water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utility plants and system are
required as part of the start-up infrastructure for such development, the Authority and
Developer shall negotiate the terms and conditions for the Authority to cover all water,
wastewater, and reclaimed water plants and system costs applicable to such DRI. Typically,
the Authority installs its plants at its expense and recovers Capacity Charges from Developer,
which is designed to recover plant and related costs. Due to the ever-increasing construction
cost and the uncertainty of the value that Developer will propose for the land that will be
dedicated for plant sites, it is impossible to establish whether the current or future capacity
charges of the Authority will be sufficient to cover that cost. It would be unfair to existing
ratepayers for the Authority to be exposed to the financial risk of the initial development and
operating cost without some guarantees from Developer. The overriding goal is to come up
with an agreement whereby the cost of all plants, including the plant site(s) land value to be
funded by the DRI Developer, and any over sizing of facilities for Master Planned areas
outside of the DRI, shall be recovered from the non-DRI Developer and refunded to the DRI
Developer.
In addition, a guaranteed revenue provision may be initiated and agreed to by the
parties on a case by case basis to help the Authority cover its on-going costs until a
negotiated number of paying customers are connected to newly constructed plants. The
target number of customer connections will be the number it will take in order for the new
plants to reach a cash flow breakeven point.
50 CCUA RESOLUTION NO. 2020/2021-01
The primary purpose of this Paragraph 34 is to emphasize financial feasibility for the
Authority since the initial investment for new plant(s) will be significant without any
assurance that customer growth will be sufficient to support the Authority's requested
infrastructure investment. Therefore, the Authority shall have the prerogative of determining
if and when the DRI has progressed to a point where financial feasibility has been achieved
and conversion to the Authority's normal and customary service availability charges can be
commenced.
This does not include the additional cost of normal stubs to adjacent properties, which
the Authority requires of Developers under its Rate Resolution and otherwise by this Service
Availability Policy.
35. DEFERRAL OF CERTAIN CAPACITY AND CONNECTION CHARGES FOR
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
The Board of the Authority finds that promoting single family home ownership and
development serves a vital and important public purpose consistent with the mission and
statutory authority, mandate, and duties of the Authority. The Board further finds that the
deferral of certain Utility fees or charges until water service is applied for within a plan
single-family residential development of one (1) or more total lots on a per single-family lot
(i.e., 1 ERC), is a reasonable deferral of Utility fees and charges which will not negatively
impact the Authority's ability to plan for or reserve capacity, nor negatively impair the
extension of the distribution and collection facilities of the System. Therefore, the Authority
hereby authorizes the Executive Director or his/her designee to enter into such Developer
Agreements as the Executive Director sees fit for the provision of water, wastewater, and/or
reclaimed water service to any Applicant for the same, for single-family developments of one
(1) or more total lots, contractually binding the Authority's deferral of the Capacity Charges,
AWS Connection Charge, and Environmental Impact Charge as would otherwise be
applicable to such Property, to be divided into and collected on an individual per single
family residential lot basis, as water service is applied for in the future for each such lot in
that development. The Developer Agreement shall contact such other and further provisions
as authorized by the Executive Director and as may be approved by the Board from time to
time. The Debt Service Charge and other established rates, fees, and charges of the
Authority for such Property shall not be deferred. The Executive Director shall cause such
recordings as necessary to be made in the public records of the subject county reflecting the
deferral of the fees and charges so authorized.

I. Acronyms List
The following lists of acronyms are referenced throughout this standards manual.
Acronym Description
CAD Computer Aided Drafting; refers to AutoCAD drawings
CCUA Clay County Utility Authority
QA/QC Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Engineer Florida Licensed Professional Engineer
Surveyor Florida Licensed Professional Surveyor
Contractor Florida Licensed Underground Utility Contractor
II. Purpose
CCUA has released new specification standards for all submitted as-built drawings. The changes
detailed below are effective immediately, so it's important to review this document and consult
CCUA with any questions. All referenced material will be provided as an electronic download
(e.g., AutoCAD templates), which can be retrieved from CCUA's website.
III. Specifications
A. General
1. Prior to completion of the final inspection,the Contractor shall provide to
CCUA an electronic file and certified copies of as-built surveys with all
required revisions included as the final as-built survey.
2. All changes requested by CCUA must be made to the electronic file, as
well as the printed, signed and sealed copies. Neglecting to provide the
required information will delay the final inspection.
3. All measurements are to be made by the Surveyor or Engineer who will be
certifying the project as constructed.
4. The Contractor is responsible for coordinating with the Surveyor or
Engineer during construction and shall provide access to all utilities prior
to being buried; allowing accurate horizontal and vertical measurements to
be acquired by the Surveyor or Engineer. In the event of any discrepancies
identified by CCUA and at no cost to CCUA, the Contractor shall verify
the location and measurements of any buried utilities.
Page 3
5. Any and all utility information must be collected, regardless of"typical"
alignments (including existing obstructing, conflicting, or crossing utility
infrastructure). Refer to the information provided in the contract
documents (construction plans, specifications, etc.).
6. The Surveyor or Engineer must provide CCUA with a certificate of its
professional liability coverage that is no less than one million dollars
($1,000,000.00) and which names CCUA as an additional insured.
B. Configuration Standards
l. All electronic as-built utility information in the as-built survey must
reference the State Plane Coordinate System, Florida East Zone, NAD 83
2011 (horizontal) and NAVD 88 (vertical) utilizing GEOID12A or
GEOID12B; the units must be in feet, and be properly projected into its
correct spatial location prior to submitting to CCUA. CCUA will not re-
project or manipulate as-built surveys in an attempt to correct improperly
spatially referenced as-built surveys. It's the certifying Surveyor or
Engineer's responsibility to ensure all submitted information adheres to
the specifications.
a) The Surveyor performing the data collection will independently
verify the positional accuracy relative to the referenced horizontal
and vertical datum. Local, state or federal agencies vertical and
horizontal control points will be used and are independent of
checks to local project controls.
b) The positional accuracy relative to the referenced published control
points used shall not exceed 0.5' horizontally and 0.1' vertically
for water and reclaimed water utilities and 0.01' vertically for
sewer utilities.
c) Coordinates on the utility mains will be required at all pipe dead
ends, size changes, points of connection to existing system, fittings
(bends, valves, tees, plugs, etc.), at intersections of pipe, at 100'
intervals for water mains and 500' intervals for reclaimed and
force mains, or to the nearest fitting/structure whichever is less.
Page 4
d) Intended Display Scale: All maps or reports of surveys produced
and delivered with digital coordinate files must contain a statement
to the effect of: "Map is intended to be displayed at a scale of
1"=60'.
2. File format shall be AutoCAD(.dwg), saved as version 2007 or higher.
3. All polylines (water,wastewater and reclaimed utility mains, etc.) shall be
connected with no broken segments; unless noted in item a)below.
a) Polylines shall be broken at each of the following points (fittings/
blocks in AutoCAD)
(1) Valves(does NOT include Air Release Valves)
(2) Reducers
(3) Tees,Taps and Crosses(including Fire Hydrant Tees)

communications, etc...) and drainage located within lift station,treatment
plant and well sites impacted by construction shall be located relative to
property lines and/or right-of-way lines, using the specifications identified
in this document.
8. The Surveyor or Engineer shall provide a Boundary Survey as defined in
5J-17.052(2) of the Standards of Practice of the site showing above and
below ground improvements impacted by construction within lift station,
treatment plant and well sites. All infrastructure, equipment and lines that
are necessary for full operation of the site shall be included. Elevations
shall be indicated at the finished floor and top of structures and at pipe
inverts, wet well tops (rim elevation), wet well sumps and at ground level
adjacent to wet wells.

11. Pre-configured block tool palettes have been provided.
a) Make sure to rename the block(s) using the XX or RENAME
command, if the desired block is not available within the tool
palette.
12. All text(DTEXT and MTEXT) must be masked; CUT/BROKEN LINES
BEHIND TEXT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Detail(s) also must be
masked using the wipeout command. The dimensions will be created with
masked text using a standard dimension style(s) located within the CCUA
template.
13. All dimensioning, text and multileader lines must be drawn using CCUA's
provided template (each template has been preconfigured).
a) Set the `Dimension Association' to 2 (exploded dimensions will

14. All corresponding linetypes must be used.
15. Text identifying information about features shall be properly aligned. Text
shall be visible on the drawing using the template font style provided and
with the base set to the upper left-hand corner of the text which is clear of
the linear or block features. For legibility, it may require that the label be
moved and accompanied by a leader arrow. The labels shall be placed
onto a separate layer and not to be placed on the feature layer itself. Labels
must be properly rotated for easy legibility (horizontal alignment).
16. Features shall be placed on their appropriate layers and assigned colors by
layer for consistency(see F below). Features shown in the AutoCAD files
shall be in model space and be contained in the AutoCAD files as opposed
to being linked through externally referenced files (binded layers MUST
reflect the correct layers).
a) Separate AutoCAD layout tabs are required for water, sewer,
reclaimed water, and lift station as-builts.
17. The AutoCAD file shall be reviewed for duplicate objects.
Page 7
18. Polylines shall be continuous from structure to structure (see item 3.a)

connecting polylines, with a structure node being snapped to the end point.
19. The following list of section should be referenced when creating
AutoCAD as-built surveys.
a) Clean all unnecessary layers and blocks before submitting final as-
built plans to CCUA
b) Use only CCUA approved layers (see F below)
c) Properly place features on the correct AutoCAD layers
d) Do not break lines or trim behind text boxes; utilize the text
masking feature (also applies to detail blow ups)
e) Use reasonably scaled templates and blocks for all drawings

g) Do not explode blocks, even if object is owned by others
h) Snap all designated blocks at the base point of the object
i) Properly connect all lines, blocks, etc.
j) Create detail blow-ups to show information in close proximity (to
maintain legibility)
20. Layer naming conventions shall follow the NCS (National CAD
Standards) guidelines. CCUA's base layers (see F below)will be provided
inside of the template AutoCAD file, any other layer(s) added must follow
the NCS documentation. For more information on NCS, visit their website
at http://www.nationalcadstandard.org/.
21. Each block (e.g., hydrant, valves, mains, etc.) shall have feature IDs
assigned by the Surveyor or Engineer completing the as-builts, which
reference a worksheet table. The worksheet table will contain an inventory
of items installed. The entire table must be complete and refer to a
corresponding feature on the as-builts (see item E.1 below)
a) Pre-configured block tool palettes are available on CCUA's
website, located on the development and permitting section.
Page 8
b) As blocks are added from the provided tool palettes, a dialog
window will prompt asking for the feature ID. For consistency add
the sequential number at the end of the feature ID (e.g.,
WM VALVE 1, WM_VALVE_2, WM VALVE_3, etc... see G
below for more examples).
22. All AutoCAD drawing text annotation, detail blow-ups, and dimensions
shall be shown in Model Space. The Contractor, Surveyor or Engineer's
title block shall be shown in the layout Viewport.
C. Cost
1. The as-built surveys shall be prepared at the Contractor's, or Developer's
(applicant) expense.
2. The applicant's Contractor shall be responsible for paying in advance to
CCUA, the cost for reviewing the final as-built surveys for each extension
of the CCUA's utility system. The cost is based on the CCUA's initial
estimate of the time needed to review the final as-built surveys.
3. Extra time required to review the as-built surveys, due to failure of
meeting the as-built specifications or for other inadequate or inaccurate
information required of applicant's Surveyor or Contractor to complete
CCUA's as-built drawings or by any combination of such factors shall be
charged to and paid by the applicant as an additional cost of completing
CCUA's final CAD as-built plans, based on a rate of$35.00 per hour, plus
plotting cost for any extra proof sets.
Page 9
D. Submission of As-builts
1. As-built surveys shall be submitted using CCUA's AutoCAD template
settings; with the Contractor, Surveyor or Engineer's title block. Sheets
shall be 22"x34" and accompanied by all necessary electronic files
delivered on CD/DVD or by e-mail.
a) Scale shall range between 1"=10' to 1"=60', unless approved by
CCUA.
b) Each sheet must be labeled "AS-BUILT" in one-inch high bold
letters in the bottom right hand corner and include the following
items:
(1) Station numbers and with offsets
(2) Dimension measurements
(3) Lot numbers
(4) Street names
(5) Scale
(6) Location,elevation and datum of the benchmark used
(7) Easements as shown on approved plans
(8) Certification block(see 3 below)
(9) Any other additional requirements as outlined by the Standards
of Practice per the Florida Administrative code for Surveying
and Mapping
2. Once CCUA has completed its proposed final review of the CAD as-built
plans for such extension, a proof set of the proposed plans will be
provided to the Contractor for proofreading and verification of the
accuracy of CCUA's proposed final CAD as-built drawings, based on the
information provided to CCUA by the applicant, Contractor or Surveyor.
When CCUA's proposed final CAD as-built drawing have been verified as
accurate by the Contractor and CCUA, then a final set of"official" as-built
drawing will be plotted by the CCUA and will be prepared and submitted
for the signature of the Surveyor and/or Engineer.
Page 10
3. Each as-built survey sheet is required to have a certification block(as
shown below) and bear the name, address, phone number and signature of
the Contractor, and Surveyor or Engineer. The Surveyor will certify the
horizontal and vertical dimensions and elevations of the project's as-built
conditions. The Engineer shall certify the project has been constructed in
substantial conformance with the permitted construction plans and
specifications. The Contractor will certify that materials and quantities
used were accurate and are in accordance with CCUA's approved plans
