(A) Contract water purchasers shall pay a surcharge of $1.00 per 1,000 gallons of water withdrawn in excess of the maximum provided by contract. This surcharge is in addition to the normal contract price of $1.93 per 1,000 gallons for West Shelby Water District, and $1.765 per 1,000 gallons of water in any month for West Shelby Water District, and $2.765 per 1,000 gallons for North Shelby Water Company, where the water withdrawal exceeds the maximum provided by contract.
(B) During any monthly period of potential water shortage declared by the Commission, any water purchaser whose contract maximum is being exceeded shall, upon notification by the Commission, immediately institute conservation measures to reduce withdrawal of water from the Commission. If this water purchaser fails to reduce withdrawal of water to the average daily amount of the contract maximum, the Commission shall call an emergency meeting with the purchaser of water to effect compliance with the contract maximum by whatever means necessary and reasonable.
(C) The surcharge under this section does not in any way condone or accept the breach of any contract with the Commission or acknowledge the right of any water purchaser to exceed its contract maximum for water withdrawal from the Commission.
