THIS CONTRACT for the sale and purchase of water is entered into as of
the 19 day of MARCH 1973, between the City of
Wichita Falls, Texas, hereinafter referred to as the "CITY" and the City of
Burkburnett, hereinafter referred to as "BURKBURNETT".
WITNESSETH :
WHEREAS, Burkburnett is a municipal corporation organized and estab-
lished under the provisions of the laws of the State of Texas. • One of the duties of
Burkburnett is the construction and operation of a water supply distribution system
serving water users within the area described in plans now on file in the office of
Burkburnett and to accomplish this purpose, Burkburnett will require a supply of
treated water; and,
WHEREAS, the City owns several water reservoirs with capacities capable
of serving the present customers of the City system and the estimated number of
water users to be served by Burkburnett shown in the plans of the system now on
file in the office of Burkburnett; and,
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.1397 enacted on the 6th
day of March 1973, by the City (Attached hereto as Exhibit
A"), which authorized the City to sell water to Burkburnett; and,
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 0 enacted on the I 9
day of MARCH 1973, by Burkburnett (Attached hereto as
Exhibit "B"), which authorized Burkburnett to purchase water from City; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT for
value received, the City and Burkburnett mutually agree to the following, to-wit:
Section 1. 0: City shall deliver water ("WATER") to delivery point
DELIVERY POINT") for sale to Burkburnett in sufficient quantities to meet
1-
1
Burkburnett's needs and Burkburnett shall be permitted to take same for resale to
to consumers, subject only to the terms and provisions of this Contract.
Section 1.1: Water delivered shall be of the same quality the City
furnishes to residents of City and at a pressure the City attempts to maintain in this
operation of its transmission and distribution facilities at the points of delivery to
its own users. Emergency failures shall excuse the City from this provision for
a reasonable period of time to restore service.
Section 1. 2: Delivery point shall be located at an elevated storage tan!: it
Puckett Road and Debbie Drive or at another satisfactory delivery point with appi•ov it
of the City and Burkburnett.
Section 1.3: Burkburnett shall have the responsibility to transport the
Water from the Delivery Point to its consumers, including imparting additional
pressure to adequately serve Burkburnett's consumers. Burkburnett shall provide
at its own expense necessary transmission and storage from and at the Delivery
and/or Metering Point to prevent abnormal demands by Burkburnett. These demands
shall be equal to or less than the agreed maximum day, and the maximum hourly
rate shall not be more than the maximum day flow divided by 24. A rate of flow
controlling valve to control the maximum day and the maximum hourly flow shall
be installed and maintained by Burkburnett at their south extraterritorial jurisdiction
limit or at another approved location.
Section 1.4: Burkburnett shall furnish, install, operate and maintain at
its own expense at their south extraterritorial jurisdiction limit line or another
approved location, the necessary demand metering equipment, including a meter
house or pit, and required devices of standard type for properly measuring and
recording the quantity of Water taken by Burkburnett. Type and location of meters
shall be agreed to by City and Burkburnett prior to delivery of Water. Burkburnett
shall calibrate such metering equipment whenever requested by the City, but not
2-
more frequently than once every twelve (12) months. A meter registering not more
than two percent (2%) above or below the test result of the rated capacity of the meter
shall be deemed to be accurate. The previous reading of any meter disclosed by
test to be inaccurate shall be corrected for the twelve (12) months previous to such
test in accordance with the percentage of inaccuracy found by such tests and existing
records. If any meter fails to register for any period, the amount of water furnished
during such period shall be deemed to be the amount of water pumped in the corre-
sponding period immediately prior to the failure, based on existing records unless
City and Burkburnett shall agree upon a different amount.
Section 1.5: City shall purchase the equivalent of a six inch (6") capacity
in the transmission line from Delivery Point to Metering Point. This purchase shall
be accomplished by the City paying to Burkburnett the equivalent cost of constructing
a six inch (6") water main from Delivery Point to Metering Point as determined
either by bid or the going costs of such construction at the time of bidding. City
shall have the right, through its Director of Public Utilities, to authorize connections
to the transmission line between Delivery Point and Metering Point (south extra-
territorial jurisdiction line of Burkburnett).
Section 1.6: Connections to the transmission line by the City as authorized
in Section 1.5 shall be made for total water usage up to and including the estimated
capacity of a six inch (6") water main (500, 000 gallons per day). This amount may be
increased or decreased by mutual agreement of both parties. At the time that this
ultimate capacity is reached, City may either refuse to authorize further connections
into the transmission line between Metering Point and Delivery Point or choose to
construct a parallel water transmission/distribution line to serve anywhere between the
Delivery Point and Metering Point. If the latter option is chosen, Burkburnett will re-
pay to the City the depreciated value of the equivalent six inch (6") water line cost. All
connections will then be removed from the Burkburnett transmission line by the City.
Burkburnett may also request the removal of City connections by paying to the City the
depreciated value of the equivalent six inch (6") water line cost with at least a nine (9) month
3-

notice of such action. Such action may be taken only when such capacity is needed
to meet Burkburnett service requirements. The depreciated value of the equivalent
six inch (6") water line shall be determined on a straight line basis as follows: the
original value shall be the amount paid by City to Burkburnett as provided in Section
1.5 above, and this value shall be depreciated at the rate of 2 % per year from
the time Burkburnett starts buying water under this Contract.
Section 1. 7: Burkburnett shall be responsible for maintenance of the
transmission line from Delivery Point to Metering Point. City shall be responsible
to make and maintain connections into the transmission line from Delivery Point to
Metering Point; install and maintain meters; read meters, bill and collect based
upon the then City water rates. City shall also retain the right to charge and collect
pro rata fees for such connections between Delivery Point and Metering Point. City
may also request Burkburnett to install fire hydrants on the transmission line be-
tween Delivery Point and Metering Point. If such request is made, City shall pay
to Burkburnett the cost of such installation; maintain the fire hydrants; and have the
use of water from such hydrants for fire fighting purposes.
Section 1. 8: Thirty (30) days prior to the estimated date of completion of
construction of Burkburnett's water supply distribution system, Burkburnett will
notify City in writing the date for the initial delivery of water.
Section 1.9: When requested by Burkburnett after the metering equipment
has been installed, City will make available to the contractor at the point of delivery
water sufficient for testing, flushing and trench filling the system of Burkburnett
during construction, for which water Burkburnett will pay City at commodity rate
set out hereafter; however, the demand rate will not apply to this water used for
testing the system.
Section 1. 10: Maximum amount of water to be furnished by City to Burk-
burnett will not exceed 133,333 C.F. per day unless a greater amount is approved
by City at the beginning of the calendar year. In the event of an emergency, City
at any time will consider a request by Burkburnett for an increase in the maximum
amount of water to be furnished. The maximum amount of water approved for
use for any year shall in no event be greater than the capacity of the
4-
Burkburnett transmission pipe line and the then existing capacity of the Wichita
Falls water system.
Section 2. 0: The cost of Water purchased by Burkburnett shall be based
in accordance with the following schedule of rates:
Commodity Rate 160/100 C.F.

The Demand rate for the period from the initial delivery of water to Burk-
burnett to the succeeding January shall be pro rated on the basis of the date of the
initial delivery of water. The Commodity and Demand rates are subject to modifi-
cation at the end of every five (5) year period. Any increase or decrease in the
rates shall be based on a demonstrable increase or decrease in the costs of per-
formance of the Contract. The minimum monthly bill when no water is used will
5-
be the monthly demand charge. The demand will be billed monthly on the basis of
the highest maximum day during the current or preceding eleven (11) months. In
the event that water loss from a break in the transmission main should cause a day
to be the maximum day for the purpose of establishing the demand rate, an adjustment
of the demand rate for that year will be negotiated by City and Burkburnett.
Section 2.1: The City will read the Burkburnett meter on the first day of
each month during the term of this Contract. Burkburnett and City shall have free
access to read meters daily, if they so desire. The City will provide Burkburnett
no later than the 10th day of each month, with an itemized statement of the amount
of water metered to Burkburnett during the preceding month. Burkburnett shall
pay to the City the amount of the itemized statement for any month not later than
the 15th day of the succeeding month.
Section 3. 0: This Contract shall extend for a term of Thirty (30) years
from the date of the initial metering of any water to Burkburnett. Unless Water is
taken within two (2) years from date hereof, this Contract shall be void. At the
expiration of the term of this Contract, same may be renewed or extended for such
term or terms, as may be agreed upon by the City and Burkburnett. City may
cancel this Contract at any time during the life of the Contract in the event
Burkburnett fails to make any payment due hereunder within sixty (60) days after
same becomes due; or if Burkburnett breaches any covenant herein other than
payment of the monthly statement, and such breach continues for sixty (60) days
after City gives Burkburnett written notice hereof.
Section 4. 0: Burkburnett shall not be required to furnish Water to any
resident of City. If the City extends its city limits to include any consumer of
Water from Burkburnett, Burkburnett will continue to provide Water to such con-
sumer until the City is able to extend its own water distribution system to provide
such consumer with Water.
Section 5. 0: Burkburnett shall permit the water to be used only for normal
residential, commercial and municipal purposes. Unless written permission is
obtained from City, water shall not be used for agriculture irrigation. Except for
contracts between Burkburnett and others in existence at the time of executing this
6-
1
Contract, copies of which are attached, Burkburnett shall not sell Water to any other
private or governmental party for resale to third parties. No connections to the
transmission main shall be allowed within the city limits or extraterritorial juris-
diction of Wichita Falls without approval of the Director of Public Utilities.
Section 5. 1: It is distinctly understood between parties hereto that City
owes its primary obligation and duty to the citizens of Wichita Falls; in the event of
an extended shortage of water, or the supply of water available to City is otherwise
diminished over an extended period of time so that it becomes necessary to ration
the water sold to citizens of Wichita Falls, the supply of water to Burkburnett's
consumers shall be reduced or diminished in the same ratio or proportion as the
supply to the citizens of Wichita Falls is reduced or diminished.
Section 6. 0: This Contract is subject to such rules, regulations, or laws,
as may be applicable to similar agreements in the State of Texas; the City and Burk-
burnett will collaborate in obtaining such permits, certificates, or the like, as may
be required to comply herewith. Where a direct physical connection exists between
the Water Supply Distribution Systems of the City and Burkburnett, Burkburnett
shall operate and maintain its portion of the Water Supply Distribution System in
accordance with the standards of the Texas Department of Health and in compliance
with Article 4477-1 Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
Section 6. 1: City shall have the authority and responsibility of inspection
to determine that no cross connections or condition of backflow or back-siphonage
exist on that portion of the system receiving water under pressure from the Wichita
Falls water mains. The City shall have the authority to disconnect the Water until
correction within the system is made. The City shall also have the right to suspend
delivery of Water in the event Burkburnett fails to construct, maintain and operate
its portion of the Water Distribution System in substantial compliance with such
standards referred to hereinabove. Provided, however, unless substantial non-
compliance constitutes a safety and/or health hazard, the City shall not suspend the
7-
4
delivery of Water without first notifying Burkburnett in writing of such non-compliance
and affording Burkburnett a reasonable opportunity to correct such non-compliance.
Provided, further, in no event shall the City suspend delivery of water to any
portion of Burkburnett's system not necessary in isolating the location of such non-
compliance.
Section 7. 0: Any amendment to this Contract shall be in writing and
executed by both City and Burkburnett.
Section 8. 0: In the event of any occurrence rendering the City of Burk-
burnett incapable of performing under this Contract, any successor of Burkburnett,
whether the result of legal process, assignment, or otherwise, shall succeed to the
rights of Burkburnett hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, acting under authority of their
respective governing bodies, have caused this Contract to be duly executed in three
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
